The Prince's Trust

The firm's chosen charity for 2008 was the Prince's Trust. The Trust was founded in 1976 by The Prince of Wales and aims to improve the lives of young people across the country.

Prince's Trust Million Makers

Having completed his duty in the Royal Navy, His Royal Highness became dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged young people in the UK, and began The Trust to deliver on that commitment. Today the Trust helps four main target groups:

  • Unemployed young people
  • Young people underachieving in education
  • Young people leaving care
  • Young offenders and ex-offenders

The committee worked extremely hard and organised some highly entertaining events from football and netball tournaments to a balloon race and culminating in our very own GDFactor pop contest at the staff Christmas party! The hard work paid off and we managed to raise over £15,200. The money will help fund the continued good work of the North West region of The Prince’s Trust which aims to support 5,000 young people in the coming year who are long term unemployed, living in or leaving care, have struggled at school or are in trouble with the law. The Committee were thanked at a special Prince’s Trust Awards Ceremony.
