CEO Challenge

I'm joining The King's Trust CEO Challenge

In September 2026, I am joining a team of senior business leaders completing The King's Trust CEO Challenge. As part of The Trust's 50th anniversary, we are swapping the boardroom for the wild, testing our own resilience and courage, that the young people supported by The Trust show every day.

There's nearly 1 million young people across the UK not in employment, education or training. They often feel hopeless about their future, struggling with low confidence, poor mental health and barriers to opportunities.

Our team of business leaders are aiming to raise £500,000 collectively, to show that we believe in the next generation, the future leaders of our industries. The funds will enable The King's Trust to continue being there for young people, giving them the skills and confidence they need to succeed. Please donate, and show your support too.

Thank you for enabling The King's Trust to be there for more young people when they need it the most.

50 Years of the Kings Trust - 50 Leaders taking on the CEO Challenge

Tuesday 11th Aug
The walking boots are ready and the weights lifted, all in preparation for the King's Trust CEO Challenge 2026 which takes place in less than 5 weeks.

In the King's Trust's 50th Anniversary Year, it is challenging 50 Senior Leaders to Unite Against Youth Unemployment.

We shall be embarking on a three-day, two-night Scottish Highland challenge; a test of our resilience, teamwork and leadership skills. Placing ourselves outside of our comfort zones with hiking, biking, ice plunges, river walks and mountain rescue scenarios -  all done to build a network of business leaders determined to support the King's Trust in its objective to end youth unemployment. 

At a time when over 1 million young people are classified as NEET (not in education, employment or training), the work of the Kings Trust has never been more vital. These young people can face little hope for the future and have to overcome daily challenges that make the Scottish Highlands landscape but a walk in the park.

Thank you to my Sponsors
