I am excited to be cycling 45 miles from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle as part of the Palace to Palace event in support of The Princes Trust on Sunday 25th September! The Prince's Trust's tailored programmes and long-term support give young people the practical skills and emotional resilience to pick themselves back up and create their own positive futures. This year The Princes Trust NatWest Youth Index shows that young people's overall happiness and confidence has fallen to an all-time low. Almost half of young people (48 per cent) report experiencing a mental health problem, with similar numbers stating their mental health had worsened during the pandemic (46 per cent). One in five young people surveyed (22 per cent) think they feel will fail in life; this rises to a third among those who are not in employment, education or training (34 per cent). Please help me to support The Prince's Trust by sponsoring my ride in Palace to Palace and sharing my page far and wide so I can raise as much as possible!
