CEO Challenge

I'm joining The King's Trust CEO Challenge

In September 2026, I am joining a team completing The King's Trust CEO Challenge. As part of The Trust's 50th anniversary we are testing our own resilience and courage, traits 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.

This is a fantastic initiative, Jolyon. In this rapidly changing world, the problem of youth unemployment risks becoming ever more endemic.
