The King hosts a reception
with winners of the King’s
Trust Award 2025
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 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.
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.
