For the fifth consecutive year, youth charity The Prince's Trust will be The Ball's benefiting charity.
The BsqB Ball is one of the few evenings of the year where you can celebrate superb food and entertainment whilst making a valid contribution to society.
The Trust helps change young lives and gives practical and financial support, developing key workplace skills such as confidence and motivation. It works with 14 to 30 year-olds who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law.
The Trust needs to raise around £1 million every week to continue its vital work. The Prince of Wales's charity has helped more than 600,000 young people since 1976 and supports 100 more every working day. More than three in four young people The Trust helped last year moved into work, education or training. Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year.
