Delivering solutions for young people and
their communities
Across the UK, The Prince’s Trust works
closely with national and local government, statutory agencies and
lottery partners to deliver effective solutions for young people
and their communities.
As the UK’s leading youth charity we have
extensive experience of working with disadvantaged and vulnerable
young people. We deliver a range of programmes, which can be
tailored to meet local need, and are proven at securing sustainable
outcomes. Our work helps to:
- Get young people in
work, education and training
- Increase educational
achievement and prevent school exclusion
- Promote and sustain
new enterprise
- Build stronger,
successful communities
- Tackle anti-social
behaviour and youth crime
- Improve young people’s
health and wellbeing
Last year we worked with nearly 70 Local Authorities, across 7
central government departments, with 3 European agencies, alongside
all the devolved administrations, and with a variety of other
statutory and lottery partners to deliver over £13m of
services to change the lives of disadvantaged young people.
In a tight funding environment, The Prince’s
Trust is committed to providing value for money – where possible we
look to bring match funding and in-kind support to programme
delivery, whilst still ensuring the best possible
outcomes.

together in your area, please contact one of our team via their

Opportunity to partner with The Prince’s Trust for ESF NEET
2013
The Prince’s Trust have submitted a PQQ to the SFA for the
delivery of ESF NEET provision in England. We would like to hear
from organisations interested in being part of our application if
we are invited to tender.
Please complete our initial Partner
Expression of Interest form, and return by the deadline of
10.00am on Friday 12th April, to james.epworth@princes-trust.org.uk.
This form does not commit you to any delivery. We will be back
in touch once the ITT details have been published.
We have had a promising response so far to our call for EOI’s to
partner the Prince’s Trust for the forthcoming round of ESF NEET
funding, however the SFA still haven’t released the ITT and we have
had some requests from partners for more time to complete the form
due to holidays over the Easter period. As such we have decided to
extend the deadline to 5.00pm on 12th April.
Please note the SFA NEET ITT was expected to be published in
early March but has been subject to a series of delays. When the
ITT is published we expect to have to turn around our response in a
very short period of time and, like other Prime Contractors, we are
gathering a shortlist of potential partners with a view to
gathering further information when the ITT has been released.
Please complete our EOI with a broad description of how you
currently or could work with NEET young people and we will provide
more detailed information if you progress to the next stage.
Matrix Standard
In July 2009 The Prince’s Trust achieved UK wide matrix Standard
accreditation. The Matrix Standard is a well recognised external
quality mark that assesses the information, advice and guidance we
provide to young people. The process involved interviewing a mix of
staff, volunteers and young people.
It was gained in a very convincing manner, reaffirming the good
quality of the Trust’s work and supporting future fundraising
efforts. The Assessor’s comments included being struck by "the
desire and enthusiasm to provide young people with a service
tailored to the individual’s needs, the strong operational
relationships with delivery partners, positive communication
between and with staff”. It has also helped The
Trust identify opportunities for improvement.
