Aims

The Lennox Partnership facilitates The Prince's Trust in the Dunbartonshire area. This partnership provides practical support including training, mentoring and financial assistance to 16-25 year olds in this area and allows them to realise their potential and transform their lives.

All of our activities - programmes, partnerships, fundraising - have one overall purpose: to reach young people in the UK who face more barriers than most, and help them get past those barriers so they can get their lives working and make a positive contribution to society.

The Prince's Trust supports young people in a number of ways:

• A 12-week personal development course called Team that helps 16-25 year olds - the majority unemployed - to develop confidence, motivation and skills through teamwork in the community. We deliver the course through partners such as colleges and the fire service. Ex-offenders/offenders and careleavers are recruited onto the course, helping to support these two target groups
• Cash awards of £50- £500 combined with advice and support, so young people can access education, training or work
• Low interest loans, grants and other business start-up support for 18-30 year olds. Most are unemployed and have been refused funding by other sources.
• A six-month programme that helps unemployed young people develop their musical talents, as well as self-confidence and life skills. Sound Live starts with a six-day personal development residential of music-based activities working with professional tutors. The following months consist of individual follow-up support and signposting
• Two and three week visits to Europe for groups of around five young people, so they can take part in community projects overseas

Testimonials

“The Prince’s Trust listened and gave me choices I never knew about. They knew about my background but they supported me anyway. They gave me the chance to show who I am and what I can do”
Ex-offender, Aged 19

“Sometimes people just need a break in life. They don’t need handouts, just a break to put them in the right direction. The Prince’s Trust gave me that break and I can’t thank them enough for that opportunity”
Care leaver, Aged 17
