Prince's Trust Enterprise

We’ve had a really exciting couple of months across the Prince's Trust Central West team, with increased delivery and more face-to-face events taking place! Since April 2022

We have achieved the following; 

  • We've run 6 Explore Enterprise Courses across the West Midlands, which were attended by 25 young people in the Coventry, Warwickshire, Hereford & Worcester region.
  • We've supported 4 young people in our patch to succesfully launch their businesses, including awarding one young person a £1,200 grant.
  • We ran a Prince's Trust Live Event on the 5th of May in our Birmingham Centre which was attended by volunteers, referral and delivery partners.
  • We ran a virtual Enterprise showcase demonstrating some of the amazing business that we have supported to launch over the last 12 months.
  • We have begun running in-person finance sessions from our Birmingham centre to young people struggling with business finances and financial forecasting.

We are continuing to run virtual Explore Enterprise workshops every fortnight, for young people between the ages of 18-30 considering self-employment. Following completion of the two-day course, young people receive regular one-to-one support, which we are beginning to implement face-to-face as well as offering virtually. Any young people interested in the Enterprise programme will need to first attend our 1 hour virtual Explore Enterprise Information Session, running biweekly. Please direct all enquiries to me, or to the Prince's Trust Customer Service Team. Our upcoming Information session dates are:

  • 28th of July
  • 11th of August
  • 28th of August
  • 8th of September
  • 22nd of September

The Prince's Trust Coventry and Warwickshire team are organising a Getting to Know the Prince's Trust Team Event on September the 7th. This will be a great opportunity for local referrers, deliver partners and volunteers to meet the local Prince's Trust team. We also hope to have a market stall for young people who have been on our Enteprise programme to showcase their work and sell their products. Keep your eyes pealed as more details will follow shortly!
