King’s Trust marks 50 years as Charles and Elton John celebrate; supports youth across the UK
ONS data shows 981,000 young people aged 16-24 are not in education, employment or training (Neet) in April–June, a fall of 30,000 from January–March but 30,000 higher than a year ago. Milburn’s forthcoming review is expected to push for wide reforms to education, welfare and jobs support.
Charles has joined Elton John for a special Rocket Hour edition on Apple Music to mark 50 years of the King’s Trust; the event recalls past benefit concerts and the charity’s impact on youth, with discussions of health challenges and long-term support for young people.
