Message from the Chair
Message from Simon Patterson, Chair of
Internet and Media Leadership Group and Managing Director at Silver
Lake
For the first time, entrepreneurs and companies from the
internet and media sectors have come together to make a difference
to young people who need help.
The Internet and Media Leadership Group (IMLG) was formed in
early 2010 to help young people from disadvantaged backgrounds
fulfil their ambitions in life. It has since become the fastest
growing Leadership Group in The Trust's history and can count some
of the most recognisable companies and entrepreneurs within the
internet, broadcasting, advertising, publishing, gaming and related
sectors as members.
Its primary focus is to raise money for The Prince’s Trust but
in addition, companies in the group donate their expertise to help
The Trust improve its online presence and expand its awareness
amongst young people and the public.
Members benefit by joining the group in a number of ways. It is
a proven method of promoting corporate social responsibility and
enhancing your brand and profile, whilst also promoting your
company within the internet and media industry. The IMLG has an
enviable events calendar drawing in key speakers from the industry
hosted in venues ranging from Royal Palaces to the Houses of
Parliament. As a member, you are able to sponsor these events, and
will also be listed on our website and in publicity
materials.
You and your employees will have access to an extensive range of
enterprising competitions, challenge events and volunteering. The
initiatives are designed to help organisations develop valuable
workforce skills such as team work, communication, leadership and
coaching skills.
Become part of the Internet and Media Leadership Group and help
transform young lives.
