Enterprise Network are taking part in PalacetoPalace2022

The Enterprise Network is a community of entrepreneurs who are passionate about supporting the next generation of young people in setting up their own businesses, making a life-changing difference to budding entrepreneurs across the UK.

The Prince’s Trust is one of the UK’s leading youth organisations which gives young people the skills and opportunities they need to turn their lives around. Since its creation in 1983, the Enterprise programme has helped over 90,000 young entrepreneurs to launch their own businesses, including around 250 in Bristol and the South West. 73% of the young entrepreneurs who receive start-up support from The Trust are still running their businesses three years later.

The Prince's Trust's tailored programmes and long-term support give young people the practical skills and emotional resilience to pick themselves back up and create their own positive futures. This year The Princes Trust NatWest Youth Index shows that young people's overall happiness and confidence has fallen to an all-time low. Almost half of young people (48 per cent) report experiencing a mental health problem, with similar numbers stating their mental health had worsened during the pandemic (46 per cent). One in five young people surveyed (22 per cent) think they feel will fail in life; this rises to a third among those who are not in employment, education or training (34 per cent).

Thank you for your support!
