The Prince's Trust is providing innovative ways to support
individuals who require additional one-to-one help in completing
their Prince's Trust programme. The support has included providing
first aid courses and life skills. Individuals have also formed an
advisory group to work.
Case studies
Zainab's story
Zainab, a 17-year-old refugee from Afghanistan, had poor written
and spoken English language skills as a result of having been held
back a year at school.
Subsequently he left school at 16 without having finished his
GCSEs. His sole aim was to gain sufficient language skills to
enable him to access college in September.
The Prince's Trust Evolve project managed to secure him a place
at Concorde English Language School for £700, instead of the usual
£5,000.
Zainab is also attending the Open College Network course in
January aimed at improving his presentation skills and has a mentor
for support.
His social worker recently commented: "Thanks for all your help
with Zainab. Your service was prompt and relevant to the needs of
my client.
It was useful that you liaised directly with both client and the
college, which led to an efficient, speedy service."
