On 3 June 2026, the UK government announced a £10 million investment to launch The King’s Trust youth opportunity initiative, part of the National Youth Strategy’s Youth Matters programme. The funding will be matched by corporate and philanthropic partners, creating a £20 million programme over four years to expand trusted adult support for young people across England. The initiative aims to provide mentoring, coaching, career advice, and work‑experience opportunities to help address the growing number of young people not in education, employment or training. It will launch place‑based pilots that will later scale to a nationwide network of mentors and coaches, with clear routes into employment. The announcement was made at a Youth Opportunity Summit at Buckingham Palace attended by the King, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and others.
