Celebrities join The Prince of Wales to celebrate 35 years of
The Prince's Trust
The Prince of Wales welcomed a host of
celebrities and young people to his London home, Clarence House, at
a reception to celebrate the 35th birthday of The Prince’s
Trust.
Gemma Arterton, Kevin Spacey, Rod Stewart and Jools Holland were
among the charity Ambassadors who gathered along with young people
who have been helped by The Trust to get their lives on track.
The Prince’s Trust - which has previously supported famous names
such as Luther star Idris Elba and singer Paloma Faith - has helped
more than 650,000 young people since The Prince of Wales set up the
charity in 1976.
Other famous faces helped by the charity joined the celebrations
at The Prince’s London home, including TV magician Dynamo and The
Last King of Scotland and Spooks actor David Oyelowo.
Jools Holland said:
Many young people have very low confidence and
self-esteem before receiving support from The Trust. At the
reception I met people who were given a hand as far back as the
eighties, who now run successful global businesses. It just goes to
show what can be achieved when someone believes in you.
The Tomorrow campaign
Join us to show young people they are the talent of
Tomorrow.
