When I see a charitable campaign, it’s often I find myself wishing I could do more. I just don’t always know how. On this blog I’m an advocate for striving to be who you are and making positive changes if you require them within your life. That’s where the #TogetherWeCan campaign with The Princes Trust fits in so well. They really believe all young people have the potential to change their path in life, be it education, a career path or just creating a better life for themselves after a painful start in the world! And they’ve been doing it for 40 years now.
Most of you will be familiar with the Princes Trust, founded by Prince Charles after his career in the Navy, he was passionate about igniting a Charity where he could give back and make people’s lives better. A pretty worthwhile cause if you ask me! You can read here about the development & history of his hard work since the 1970’s.
This incredible new campaign features this compelling video, Parallel Lives, my heart stopped when watching it because the message is powerful. It’s so easy to think everything is rosy, but life can play a very different story behind other closed doors and so often people feel trapped, not knowing how to turn their life around. The Princes Trust give those in need a brand new start with bigger, better and even more beautiful prospects. Please note, this comes with a trigger warning if you watch the video.
So, how can we help? We can donate directly or you can fundraise (probably the more fun way of doing it!) and you can find out more here – there’s plenty of fundraising inspiration and resources to set you up for a successful event to raise money. Why not even Volunteer? A great way to give back (and something to add to your CV!) there are a multitude of ways to make a difference and there are so many people that would be so grateful if you did.
