We fully intend to continue this important support. 'Our partnership with The Prince's Trust is about us helping and supporting some of our less fortunate young people who may be struggling in life. As a national youth charity, The Trust will enable us to do this in a more coordinated way so that we can fully engage and encourage all of our staff across the UK to get involved in the partnership. We are looking forward to developing a long term relationship with the Trust and supporting the various projects with which we will be involved.'
