By taking part in Million Makers, you are supporting The King's Trust to transform young people's lives
The funds raised during the Million Makers challenge enables The King's Trust to support disadvantaged young people into education, employment or enterprise.
At a time when the cost-of-living crisis and recession are young people’s biggest worries, with 46% reporting that economic uncertainty makes them feel hopeless about the future, and 36% of young people from poorer backgrounds reporting that they feel they will fail in life, your support is needed more than ever to fund our vital work.
