The trust has helped over a million young people across the UK, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, by offering them a chance to succeed and transform their lives.

Apart from his work with The Prince’s Trust and the Prince’s Foundation, King Charles has been associated with numerous other charities, spanning diverse causes.

His patronage extends to artistic and cultural charities, like the Royal Opera House and the Royal Shakespeare Company, highlighting his appreciation for British cultural heritage.
