By Nathan | The Prince's Trust Supported Young Person
With your support we are able to help many more young people build their confidence to live, learn and earn, like Nathan here’s his story:
‘I was born with cerebral palsy, which means my mobility and communication are particularly affected. This made life difficult for me, and I’d often get frustrated and angry with myself. I’d always dreamt of a career in Travel and Tourism after studying this at college, but I found it so difficult to find work. It was very disheartening’
‘That was until I found out about The Prince’s Trust 12-week Team programme. I wanted to build my confidence, make friends and develop strategies for handling different situations. I met the brilliant staff and other young people like me, who supported me to do things I would have never imagined before.’
‘I presented all that we did over the 12 weeks to an audience at Carnival House. I couldn’t believe it a few months later when our Team won a Prince’s Trust Award for our community project!’
Even with the odds against him, Nathan never stopped dreaming of a career in travel and shortly after finishing the Team programme, he was delighted to be offered a two week work experience placement at Carnival UK, a leading UK cruise operator. Nathan continued to impress and by using his new found confidence, he was able to secure a permanent role at Carnival. His life has been changed through the support of The Trust.
Now with your support we will be able to help many more young people like Nathan so thank you for believing!
