Ceo Challenge

Celebrating 50 years of impact.

The King's Trust CEO Challenge

To celebrate our 50th anniversary, CEOs and business leaders are uniting as a team to take on The King's Trust CEO Challenge - with a shared vision of ending youth unemployment.

The team of leaders will take on a three-day, two-night Scottish Highlands challenge, stepping away from the boardroom and into the wild. This is more than an adventure, it’s a test of resilience, teamwork and leadership in one of the UK’s most remote and breathtaking landscapes. 

Just like the young people The King’s Trust supports, no one will be left behind. Our event partner has created an inspiring program that will both challenge and accommodate all levels of fitness and abilities.  

Date: Tuesday 15th - Thursday 17th September 2026
Entry Fee: £3,000 per leader
Fundraising Target: £20,000

YOUNG PEOPLE NEED YOU

The challenge offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the boardroom and connect with a cause that truly matters. You'll build meaningful connections with the UK’s most forward-thinking leaders, whilst experiencing firsthand the remarkable work of The King’s Trust.

You’ll also be raising significant funds to help The King's Trust build the nation's future workforce, at a time when over 900,000 young people are out of work. 

Jonathan Townsend, Chief Executive, The King's Trust

"As The King's Trust celebrates 50 years of supporting young people into employment, it's important that we not only celebrate all we’ve achieved but focus on what is still to be done. Nearly 1 million young people in the UK are out of work, education, and training, with little hope for the future. That's not something we can ignore.

It's an important moment for UK business leaders to come together, show their support of our country’s young people – our future leaders. We'll be challenging our leaders to not only work together, but to raise significant funds that will help The King's Trust continue our work in ending youth unemployment. They can make a real difference to the unemployment landscape out there for young people.

Can you help us make that difference? Please do reach out to me and sign up. I'll see you there!"
