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.
