Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Virgin London Marathon 2011 · 17 April 2011 ·

The King’s Trust supports 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school to get their lives on track. Many of the young people we support are in or leaving care, have been in trouble with the law, or they are facing challenges such as homelessness or mental health issues.

During this&nbsp;difficult economic time young people are pushed further and further away from job opportunities as competition for these vacancies increases and apprenticeships and entry schemes are reduced. Demand for our programmes is increasing - young people need our support!&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: red;">As you will probably know, this is not my usual pastime as it doesn't involve throwing myself down hills on a bike or being attached to a kite!</span></p> <p><span style="color: red;">Together we can help change young lives!!
