By giving practical and financial support to the young people who need it most. The Trust helps develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move into work, education or training.

As a Business Mentor Simon Jenner guides a Trust-supported entrepreneur during the critical early stages of their startup, meeting regularly to provide much-needed business and personal support.

Many of the young people we help are overcoming various disadvantages (ie. a record of offending, a life spent in care, long-term unemployment, having no qualifications) and they aren’t starting their business with the same confidence and business acumen as more traditionally prepared entrepreneurs.
