He told the King: ‘What you’re doing is amazing for young people’

With one in six young Londoners unemployed, The Standard has joined forces with The King’s Trust to support unemployed young people into work or business. So far, £700,000 has been raised, with £450,000 going to King’s Trust programmes in London and £250,000 to four grassroots youth charities across the capital. We are calling on corporations, foundations, philanthropists — and our readers — to donate. All funds raised will go to King’s Trust programmes in London.
