The Prince’s Trust charity has helped more than a million young people from disadvantaged communities
Since its launch in 1976, gain essential life skills and job opportunities.
"Shortly after presenting me with my business award, the then Prince Charles turned to my son JJ, then just a toddler, and said, “You’ll be proud of your mum when you grow up.” Bullied at school Even though I was doing well academically at school, I was badly bullied by a group of girls. Instead of tackling the bullying, the school said it would be better if I found another school. So aged 14, I left school and never went to another one. Times were different back then and no one ever checked up on me.
Still, I was determined to make something of myself and to give my son a good start in life. At one of my income support meetings, I mentioned a dream I’d had about starting a business making soap that looked like cakes. The adviser mentioned The Prince’s Trust and in 2008, within weeks of applying, I was on their business course.
And that’s what I did. I added balloons to my soap stall and they were a hit. I made £1,000 in one day! Through a Prince’s Trust contact, I met the events team at Aston Villa FC and was taken on as their main supplier. It was a huge confidence boost.
