The Prince’s Trust
The Prince’s Trust is a charity in the United Kingdom founded in 1976 by Charles, Prince of Wales to help vulnerable young people get their lives on track. It supports 11 to 30-year-olds who are unemployed and those struggling at school and at risk of exclusion.
At Vista, we believe that absolutely anyone should have the opportunity to start their own business. Small and micro businesses are crucial to the make-up of local communities and hold the key to improving and sustaining a healthy overall economy.
This is why we are supporting The Prince’s Trust Enterprise programme – helping young people aged 18-30 in the UK to explore and test their ideas, and start their own business.
