The King’s Trust Newsletter – October 2026
October and November can be a challenging time for young people.
As the evenings get darker and the year begins to wind down, some young people may be feeling uncertain about their future, struggling with confidence, looking for work, or considering their next steps in education, training or employment.
The King’s Trust is here to help young people find their next steps by exploring new opportunities, building confidence, developing skills and accessing practical support to move forward with purpose. All our courses are free, and we reimburse travel costs for all our programmes. We can also support with childcare costs where needed.
Whether a young person is looking for a fresh start before the end of the year or wants to build momentum for the future, our upcoming programmes can help them take that next positive step.
South Armagh Locality Planning Group
Members of the South Armagh Locality Planning Group set aside some time at their recent meeting to help raise awareness of the Public Health Agency ‘Feeling Anxious?’ Mental Health Awareness Campaign, running from 10th September to 10th October 2026.
As a local partnership, the South Armagh LPG knows how important it is to create spaces where people feel able to talk about their mental health, recognise when they might need support, and know where to turn for help. 💚
A huge thank you to our members for agreeing to pose for a photo to help us spread the word about this important campaign.
Together, we can help start conversations, reduce stigma and remind people that support is available and no one has to face things alone.
