As a entrepreneurial Brit living in Los Angeles, The Kings Trust is close to my heart and I'm extremely excited to be running the marathon on 8th March to raise money for the charity!

If you haven't of The King's Trust, here is some background:

The King's Trust (formerly The Prince's Trust) is a global charity founded by King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) in 1976 to support disadvantaged young people (ages 11-35) in building skills, confidence, and career paths through programs focused on education, employment, and enterprise. The organization helps those facing challenges like unemployment, homelessness, or mental health issues, empowering them to get into work, education, or start businesses, with a vision that every young person can succeed.

What they do:

Support Vulnerable Youth: They help young people who are struggling in school, unemployed, or facing life challenges like disability or homelessness.

Build Skills & Confidence: Programs focus on personal development, essential life skills, motivation, and confidence.

Career Pathways: They provide training, resources, and opportunities to help young people get ready for work, find jobs, or launch their own businesses.

Global Network: The King's Trust operates in the UK and has international branches (like in the US, Australia, Canada) through King's Trust International, adapting programs for different regions.

Range of Programs: Offerings include confidence-boosting courses, job-focused support, and enterprise programs for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Key Impact:

They have supported over a million young people globally, helping them achieve positive outcomes like employment or further training.

A significant majority (over 70%) of participants in employment and enterprise programs achieve a positive outcome.
