The Prince's Trust is a charity in the United Kingdom founded in 1976 by Charles, Prince of Wales to help young people. They run a range of training programmes, provide mentoring support and offer financial grants to build the confidence and motivation of disadvantaged young people. Each year they work with 40,000 young people, with around 80% moving on to Employment, Education, Training or Volunteering.
In April 2011 the youth charity Fairbridge became part of The Prince's Trust.

Above the rolling ball in cloud part screened,”
