Published
His Majesty, alongside The King’s Trust’s supporters and ambassadors, has hosted the winners of The King’s Trust Awards 2025 at Buckingham Palace.
The King's Trust Awards recognise young people who have improved their own chances in life and had a positive impact on their local community. The 2025 winners include young people who have overcome challenges such as poor mental health, educational troubles and youth unemployment with the help of the Trust.
The reception took place ahead of the annual King’s Trust Award ceremony, hosted at the Royal Festival Hall on Thursday 26th June. This year was the twenty-first ceremony, but the first held as The King’s Trust Awards (previously The Prince’s Trust Awards).
During the reception, His Majesty met the winners of the eight UK categories: Enterprise Award, Education Award, Breakthrough Award, Young Change Maker Award, Young Achiever Award, Community Impact Award, Rising Star Award and Volunteer of the Year Award.
His Majesty also met winners of the three Global categories: Global Young Achiever Award, Amal Clooney Woman’s Empowerment Award and the Global Sustainability Award.
The reception also marked the 10th anniversary of The King’s Trust International. In recognition of the milestone, His Majesty cut a cake, decorated by one of the International Award winners, to celebrate the King’s Trust International and their work with young people outside of the UK.
The King's Trust International now operates in over 20 countries and has supported over 100,000 young people across countries including Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Jamaica and Greece.
