The King’s glittering gala: Kate Moss leads the glamour at glitzy charity event for The King’s Trust - the first since The Prince’s Trust was renamed

In a letter that was read to the audience by a young beneficiary, Ariana, from Canada, His
Majesty remarked: 'Ladies and Gentlemen, it gives me enormous pride and pleasure to be
able to celebrate this evening, the first-ever King’s Trust event.

‘When I started the Trust in 1976, I could never have imagined the reach that the organisation would have in the U.K. and in more than twenty countries around the world, or the more than a million brilliant young people we have been able to support.’

Majesty’s commitment to this cause and as Chair of the Global Ambassador Group, I am
delighted that we are now The King’s Trust, cementing the future legacy of this work.

'The world is tough for young people right now and I'm a huge believer in the approach of The
King's Trust, to create opportunities and equip young people with the skills and self-belief to

Meanwhile, King’s Trust Global Ambassador, Edward Enninful OBE added: 'This generation has
the power to change the world and we all have a duty to address the inequalities which stop
any young person from fulfilling their potential. It's a huge honour for me to support the
organisation, now as The King's Trust, as it continues to help to bridge the gap, not only in
the UK, but where I grew up in Ghana and now here in the USA and many countries around
the world.'

The Trust launched its first programs in the USA in 2023 and currently works in New York,
Detroit and Chicago to deliver Enterprise Challenge; a schools-based competition for 11-to
16-year-olds to develop their entrepreneurial spirit and business knowledge.

The King’s Trust plans to extend its work into other parts of the USA and will introduce two
new initiatives here this year including a job fair and grants.

Jeremy Green, Chairman of The King’s Trust USA, said: 'Our name may have changed
but our mission remains the same – to help young people in underserved communities to
learn, earn and thrive. As His Majesty The King said when The Trust first started, every
young person deserves the chance to succeed.

'It’s with thanks to His Majesty and to supporters like Lionel and Edward, and all the guests here tonight, that The King’s Trust can continue giving young people around the world the opportunities to build their future.'
