The Prince’s Trust supports young people who have experienced difficulties finding or sustaining work. Many of them are in or leaving care, facing i homelessness or mental health problems, have struggled at school or have been in trouble with the law.

The youngsters, aged 18 to 25, attended a four-week programme, which included practical skills development, the chance to build their CVs and mock interviews with Great Northern staff. They then completed two weeks of practical work experience at railway stations.
