The King was joined by young people, youth organisations, government ministers and King’s Trust alumnus Idris Elba for a Youth Opportunity Summit at St James’s Palace yesterday.
During the Summit, His Majesty heard about key topics such as the importance of providing positive opportunities for young people impacted by youth violence in the UK.
Since discussions at last year’s Summit, The King’s Trust have launched a Creative Futures programme, in partnership with the Elba Hope Foundation, which commits to inspiring young people through the arts and build their skills and confidence.
There was also an opportunity to hear more about the progress of Idris Elba’s anti-knife crime campaign, Don’t Stop Your Future which launched in 2024 and works to amplify the voices of communities most impacted by serious youth violence.
