Reaching the Private Sector

Rationale

The Prince’s Trust needs to generate interest and support from companies in order to fulfil the ERDF contract. We want to focus on specific sectors where we know we have already succeeded: Law, Finance, Construction and Retail. We are keen to work with more corporate organisations to double or even treble their CSR activity by working with The Prince’s Trust. We lever grants from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to fund the Enterprise programme. We will offer companies a unique insight into how they can maximise their corporate social responsibility priorities by aligning with our European-funded programme – Sustainable Enterprise with The Prince’s Trust. We also need to build bridges between our young businesses and more established ones so that they can network and create opportunities that can ensure their future survival
