YEARS OF<br />
HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE<br />
1976<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Prince</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Wales</strong> founded <strong>The</strong> <strong>Prince</strong>’s Trust with his severance pay<br />
from the Navy <strong>of</strong> £7,400. <strong>The</strong> Trust ran 21 pilot projects around the country.<br />
Grants were given to 19-year-old Pauline O’Halloran to run a youth centre<br />
for Haggerston Housing Estate, East London, and for two ex-<strong>of</strong>fenders to<br />
run a fi shing club. Swimming baths in Cornwall were hired with funds from<br />
the Trust to train young lifeguards and for a self-help bicycle repair scheme.<br />
Here is a snapshot <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Prince</strong>’s Trust over the last three decades.<br />
