The background - why are we riding for the Prince's Trust and what does the charity do?

The Prince's Trust supports 13 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed and those struggling at school and at risk of exclusion. Many of the young people helped by The Trust are in or leaving care, facing issues such as homelessness or mental health problems, or they have been in trouble with the law.

The Trust’s programmes give vulnerable young people the practical and financial support needed to stabilise their lives, helping develop self-esteem and skills for work.

The Palace to Palace cycle has become a key event for Accenture in our support of the Prince's Trust Charity over the years and we are hoping to increase our participation and fundraising targets again to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Palace to Palace Cycle.

We hope that through our participation, we can raise global awareness of the good work that the Prince's Trust benevolently undertakes whilst also raising money to sustain the charity for future generations.

It's a brilliant opportunity for the Accenture Community to help and support a great event and to show how important this cause is to us. Last year 236 riders took part raising nearly £70,000.

This years challenge!

For the 10th Anniversary of the Prince's Trust Palace to Palace, we are aiming to  get 300 riders signed up and raise £100,000. Ambitious I know but we are confident we can reach it if everyone works together!

We are once again throwing the gauntlet down to the Industries, DTEs & Services to see who can top the charts with the most riders and the most sponsorship raised.
