History

Historical Context

The King's Trust began in 1976 when Prince Charles founded the Prince’s Trust to aid vulnerable UK youth. Renamed after Charles became king, it has helped over 1 million young people and launched a global network in 2018, backed by patrons such as the Aga Khan and ambassador Lionel Richie. The New York gala extends that legacy to Harlem and UK programmes.
