Politicians unite in praise of The Trust
Across the political spectrum, leading
politicans all agree about the importance of the work of The
Prince's Trust
The Prime Minister, David Cameron:
"I am delighted to congratulate The Prince's Trust on reaching
its 35th birthday.
The Trust does an incredible job helping
vulnerable young people realise their potential, offering many what
are quite literally life-changing opportunities.
But it's not just countless young people whose lives have been
transformed. Whole communities have benefited from the
inspirational work of The Trust and its many volunteers and
supporters. So on behalf of the whole country, I want to thank
everyone who has been involved with The Prince's Trust over the
last 35 years and to wish you all every success in the many years
ahead."
The Deputy Prime Minister, Rt Hon Nick Clegg MP:
Over the past 35 years, The Prince’s Trust has
made itself indispensible, and I hope it will continue to play a
vital part in improving the life chances of some of the hardest to
reach young people in society.
Long may it continue its work harnessing their talents, teaching
new skills, and boosting their confidence to give as many young
people as possible a fair opportunity to succeed in life."
Leader of the Labour Party, Ed Miliband:
"I am delighted to congratulate The Prince’s Trust on its
landmark anniversary this year. For the past 35 years, The Trust
has provided young people who haven’t had many other opportunities
the chance to fulfil their ambitions. By offering inspiration and
support, it has steered young people across Britain towards the
path to work and further education.
Now, more than ever, The Trust’s work is
invaluable to our communities.
Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Iain Duncan
Smith:
"I would like to congratulate The Prince's Trust on the occasion
of their 35th anniversary. For 35 years they have been committed to
transforming the lives of disadvantaged young people.
Working with some of the most marginalised
young people in Britain, The Trust has supported them to turn their
lives around - offering practical and emotional support when it is
needed most - and set them on a positive path to adulthood.
I wholeheartedly support their work and look forward to seeing
them continue their success over the next 35 years."
Business and Enterprise Minister, Mark Prisk:
"I warmly congratulate The Prince’s Trust on their 35th
anniversary. As a former business mentor for The Trust, I have seen
firsthand how the charity helps to inspire and motivate young
entrepreneurs. Advice and support from mentors is extremely
valuable, and it can give young people the confidence and knowledge
to turn their ideas into a successful business.
The Prince's Trust is helping disadvantaged young
people create the next generation of businesses in this country,
and it continues to have a crucial role in driving growth in our
economy.
