The partnership is being created to make a difference and improve the quality of life for disadvantaged young people. Opus and The Prince’s Trust will focus on getting young people into training, education and employment to secure a successful future.
In 2016 The Prince’s Trust celebrates 40 years since its creation and in this time has helped 825,000 young people turn their lives around.
Opus will also be joining the Trust’s Technology Leadership Group (TLG). The TLG was established in 2002 and is made up of over 50 companies, leading The Prince’s Trust’s work in the Technology sector through fundraising, volunteering and pro-bono support.
Darren Ryemill, CEO of the Opus Professional Services Group said, “We’re really excited to be kick-starting this relationship with The Prince’s Trust. At Opus we take pride in giving something back and this is the perfect time to get our business involved with fundraising opportunities.”
Ben Marson, Director of Corporate Partnerships at the Prince’s Trust said,: “We are delighted that Opus have become a Patron of the Prince’s Trust and are very grateful for their commitment over the next four years. Without the support of companies like Opus, we could not go on supporting 100 more young people each day.”
There are still 853,000 young people in the UK who are not in employment, education, or training. Last year, alone, the Prince’s Trust helped 56,000 young people change their lives for the better.
The Opus Professional Services Group are a global recruitment service provider. The group want to use their knowledge of employment and training to help young people into work and provide them with a prosperous future.
