The King's Trust

HM The King was joined last week by Apple CEO Tim Cook for a truly festive visit to Battersea Power Station and Apple’s HQ!   HM visited a pop-up marketplace hosted by Curated Makers, organised by entrepreneur and King's Trust alumnus, Megan Jones. He met with stallholders representing small and local businesses – including Trust-supported businesses Frank’s Remedies and Ribbon and Bow.   After visiting the marketplace, The King continued to Apple’s offices. There, he met young people being supported to build their confidence and develop creative digital skills through The Trust’s education programmes, which are generously supported by Apple.   Through leveraging Apple technology and learning resources, The Trust’s partnership with Apple has empowered young people to channel their creativity and learn digital skills, including coding and app design, since 2019.

On Monday we hosted our Carol Concert, in partnership with Cunard at St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge. It was a magical night with a range of incredible performances and readings from a host of our celebrity ambassadors, The Choir of St Paul's, The London Youth Choir and our very own King's Trust Choir. Thank you to all who attended, supported and helped make the night so special. Together, we've raised over £230,000 to help change young lives. Make sure to tune in to Magic Classical at MagicFM on Christmas Eve at 7pm to listen to the broadcast of the event.

It was a pleasure to welcome British Chambers of Commerce and Chancellor Rt Hon Rachel Reeves to our South London Centre yesterday. There were some engaging discussion about strategies to boost economic growth, which we know youth employment is critical to. Investing in the potential of young people is not just an opportunity—it's a necessity for building a prosperous future. #EconomicGrowth #YouthEmployment #InvestingInTalent
