The Prince's Trust exists to help young people overcome barriers and get their lives working.

Through practical support including training, mentoring and financial assistance, it helps 14-30 year olds realise their potential and transform their lives.

The Trust focuses its efforts on young people who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law.
Since the charity was founded by The Prince of Wales in 1976, it has helped more than half a million young people. The Prince's Trust has operations in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and every English region.

The Prince's Trust has identified four groups of people who are the priority for their work.
 

• 62 per cent of participants were educational under-achievers, including young people with low basic skills, those truanting and those excluded from school
• 14 per cent of participants were offenders or ex-offenders
• 61 per cent of participants were unemployed
• 9 per cent were in or leaving care
  
  The Trust supports these people in a number of ways:

Moorside Rangers helps The Prince's trust by getting young people who are on The Prince's Trust Courses involved in sport, we give them the opportunity to gain relevant coaching qualifications and become involved in the coaching at our club.
