BBC Breakfast Pauses Live Broadcast to Share Heartfelt King Charles Message

The King’s Trust has helped over 1.3 million UK youth build confidence and skills, contributing at least £11.4 billion to society, the charity said.

  • On Sunday, BBC Breakfast paused regular programming to broadcast a video message from King Charles marking the King's Trust's 50th anniversary and his pride in the charity he founded.
  • Years ago King Charles set up the trust in 1976 to help disadvantaged young people into employment or to start businesses, funding it with his Navy severance pay of �7,400.
  • The King's Trust says it has helped more than 1.3 million young people and supported over 92,000 UK startups, with research showing a contribution of at least �11.4 billion to society.
  • Next week the trust will release its anniversary impact report '50 Years Of Working For Young People', revealing new findings on young people's attitudes and career fears.
  • A BBC segment featured beneficiary Matt Wane describing how the trust helped him after his father's death and that he now works DJ'ing, alongside ambassadors Sir Gareth Southgate and Ant and Dec.
