What better time to take Business Advance UK-wide than #EntrepreneurshipWeek! Business Advance, fully funded by LDC, is a key part of our Enterprise programme, offering young entrepreneurs over three years of dedicated support to help them navigate the ups and downs of growing a new business. After a successful pilot in the Midlands, we're delighted to have LDC's backing to take this stage of the programme nationwide. In recognition of this exciting expansion, we asked the team at LDC and members in their network to share their top tips for turning a new business into a lasting success.#Enterprise5Things #BusinessAdvance
The King’s Trust was pleased to hear this week that the Government will begin work on a new National Youth Strategy. Having supported more than one million young people since 1976, we know that youth initiatives need the voices of all young people at their heart. We look forward to working closely with the Government on this new strategy, especially empowering young people to shape the decisions that affect them, and helping to expand the support that gives them stable and fulfilling lives. However, we also learned that the NCS - National Citizen Service Trust is to close and our thoughts are with its staff and leadership teams. The work of addressing the economic challenges facing young people and moving towards a more cohesive society must continue. The King’s Trust remains committed to providing opportunities to build young people's confidence and skills so they can achieve great things, not just for themselves but for their communities and society as a whole.

Statement from NCS following the announcement from DCMS secretary Lisa Nandy today that the government will wind down National Citizen Service and close the Trust. We are sad and disappointed by the announcement from Secretary of State for the Department for Culture, Media & Sport, Lisa Nandy, today that the government will wind down National Citizen Service and close the Trust. NCS was founded to help build a more cohesive society through supporting young people at a crucial moment in their lives, through connecting young people across many walks of life, building their skills and confidence, and empowering them to make a difference in their communities. We are immensely proud of the impact we have had for young people. Together with hundreds of youth sector partners and thousands of youth sector staff, we’ve delivered over a million experiences to young people, and participants have taken part in over 18 million hours of volunteering. As one of the most rigorously evaluated youth initiatives in the country, NCS has consistently been shown to have a positive impact on young people - who report improved wellbeing, greater optimism about the future, increased understanding of those who are different to them, and a greater commitment to get involved in social action and volunteering. It is our heartfelt belief that there has never been a more important time for the kind of work that NCS delivers. Young people are facing an increasingly uncertain future due to the disproportionate impact of Covid on their generation. The combination of an enduring cost of living crisis and the increasing spread of disinformation is sowing discord and division. We hope that the government will continue to support youth initiatives with an explicit focus on building a cohesive society, and we stand ready to share our insights and learning as the Secretary of State develops her new youth strategy. Every colleague at NCS works tirelessly to support young people to grow their strengths every day. This news is deeply upsetting to each and every one of our colleagues. Please bear with us as we navigate this very difficult time. We want to express the deepest thanks to all the young people who have participated in NCS over the years, many of whom have gone on to work on NCS programmes, or join our Youth Advisory Board - we have been endlessly inspired by them all. And we also want to share our gratitude for the partners who have delivered transformative experiences for young people, and without whom NCS wouldn’t have been possible. And finally thank you to our NCS Trust colleagues, who work every day to support the young people we were formed to serve. One thing we can all be grateful for, is that our vision of “a country of connected, confident and caring citizens where everyone feels at home”, will live on long after NCS has gone.

Last night we were delighted to host the Retail Leadership Dinner at our King’s Trust South London Centre. We were joined by 14 leaders from the retail industry to introduce them to the important work of The King’s Trust and to discuss how businesses within the sector can support young people. Hosted by Brian Duffy, The King’s Trust Retail Leadership Chair and CEO of Watches of Switzerland Group PLC, the night consisted of a three-course dinner cooked by a Trust-supported young person. During the evening there were a series of impactful talks, including hearing first-hand from two of our young people, Charlie and Winfrey, on their experience attending one of our King’s Trust Explore programmes. A special thanks to Stuart Machin, CEO for Marks and Spencer, for sharing how M&S have been able to engage in a transformational partnership with The King’s Trust for over 20 years, supporting over 12,000 young people into work through their Marks & Starts programme.
