The Prince's Trust is a well-established UK-based charity that helps young people out of difficult situations and into work. They have a 75% SUCCESS RATE with these 14-30 year olds which I think is pretty amazing. My friend Sally works for the Prince's Trust and told me about this trek which focusses on helping women specifically - a cause I feel strongly about. This is a great opportunity to raise lots of money for a worthy cause - for young people who haven't had the support and help they need.

GlobalCampus www.globalcampus.com, my employer, has kindly contributed a significant amount towards my trip and you can follow my progress on my blog. (You can also get involved in the project and write a review about your uni!).

The Women’s Leadership Group
