The Prince's Trust Team is a challenging 12-week programme that helps young people, between the ages of 16 and 25, develop the confidence, motivation & skills to turn untapped potential into success. It's run by Plantation throughout Surrey and Sussex and runs from Monday to Friday 9:30am- 4:00pm. It's completely free! You even get a free lunch and travel costs can be reimbursed with prior agreement.

The course is very practical; it's not like school or college. The team members are involved in a variety of activities and projects where they really learn to work as a team and at the same time improve individual skills. The team members work towards a Prince's Trust qualification as well as Food Hygiene and First Aid qualifications. The Prince's Trust Team is a recognised course that runs all over the UK and looks great on your CV.

"Robert Gallagher said that change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.

I feel I am changing all the time. Changing circumstances and changing my mind about what I want to do with my future.

Today's achievements may face or even be forgotten. The applause may become a distant memory and our certificates and photos may gather dust on a shelf or in a drawer. But, we will always be remembered for caring enough, for helping someone, for making someone feel special and appreciated and for being the kind of people whom others enjoy spending time with.

Our life is a quality gig - I have no doubt that we will all rise to it!"

Robert Gallagher - PTT Reigate 28/02/11 - 16/05/11
