Sport United

The Prince's Trust believes that sport can help young people develop skills such as confidence, teamwork, communication and discipline, qualities which are also required in the world of work.

The vital support of key organisations in football, rugby and cricket has enabled The Trust to change thousands of young lives through the power of sport. Click here to view the Sport United DVD.

Football

Launched in 1997, The Prince's Trust Football Initiative, which is funded by the Premier League, Professional Footballers’ Association and the Football Foundation, works with 70 professional football clubs and has helped change more than 12,000 young lives.

Cricket

Since piloting The Cricket Initiative in 2003, The Trust has worked in partnership with 14 First Class Counties and the Marylebone Cricket Club supporting close to 2,500 young people to get their lives working.

Rugby

Since 2005, more than 1,000 young people have been helped by the RBS 6 Nations and Prince's Trust joint initiative, gaining access to players, coaching staff and educational sessions on nutrition and healthy lifestyles.

Horseracing

In 2008 the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) joined forces with The Prince’s Trust to show young people the variety of opportunities that exist within the sport.
