We are proud to announce that at this year’s festival, our official Charity is The Prince's Trust.

Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training with Youth unemployment costing the UK economy a staggering £10 million a day in lost productivity, with youth crime £1 billion every year. 

Youth charity The Prince’s Trust helps these young people to turn their lives around. They give practical and financial support to the young people who need it most, helping develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling them to move into work, education or training. The Prince’s Trust will help 50,000 young people this year, and needs almost £1 million pounds a week to continue its vital work. Your support will give disadvantaged young people the confidence and skills to get their lives back on track. 

They have helped more than 650,000 young people since 1976 and support 100 more each working day with more than three in four they helped last year move into work, education or training.
