The Prince’s Trust is a great charity doing wonderful work in Northamptonshire and nationally and I have been a strong supporter of their work for years, and was made their “MP of the Month” in July 2012.
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 care, or leaving care, facing issues such as homelessness or mental health problems, or they have been in trouble with the law. I have worked hard to support the Trust in the past and the great work they do.
Next year is an important milestone for the Prince’s Trust as it celebrates its 40 Year Anniversary, and I had a meeting with a regional manager for the East Midlands to discuss future plans.
