Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year. We address this by giving practical and financial support to the young people who need it most. We help develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move into work, education or training. The Trust was established in 1976 http://www.princes-trust.org.uk/ When I started my business up I used the Prince's Trust and they helped right from the beginning with the business plans and then got me started with the finances
I've actually tried contacting the Prince's trust a few times managed to talk to a few people but in my area anyway they don't seem to be good at chasing things up they always say they will contact me back and then I never hear anything it's rather frustrating. I personally hate chasing people up myself because I start to feel like I'm annoying people or being a right pain in the bum so I tend to just leave it for people to contact me back and I think that's where the problem lies lol.
Yeah 247j business is about doing the running about especially when you are just getting set up. If you don't do it I don't think things will ever get off the first post, there are a lot of people that are all fighting for the same thing so the people that bugs the most generally gets the most
I know what you mean if I had my own Business I wouldn't mind doing the chasing but when I'm asking for money from the Prince's Trust it just makes me feel awkward lol but good point it could be a test to see how good I am at chasing people for money. I'll get onto it as soon as I get home
I wonder if the United States has something like this. It would be great to have access to help when it comes to getting my business off the ground.
