This International Women's Day we want you to help Change A Girl's Life.

My life before Prince's Trust is a completely different world away from how my life is now. I was unemployed. I had two young children, as well. I lacked a lot of confidence. I completed a programme with The Prince's Trust called Get Started with the Ambulance Service. Now I look at myself and I am so much more confident. I've found my purpose in life. My kids are thriving and I'm finally happy again.

You can help The Trust to support more young women like me to overcome barriers and build a better future for themselves.

Before Prince's Trust I was very down and I had quite bad depression and I couldn't leave the house because of really bad anxiety. I didn't have any friends. I didn't have any sort of life. I didn't have any hobbies. I was just completely stuck. And Prince's Trust worked with me to build my confidence, my self-esteem, get me talking to other young people my age again.

Without the right support there is a very real risk that these young women will lose hope for the future. Every day I hear from, I see young women struggling. Struggling to make it. Struggling to break in. Struggling to build themselves up. And that is why Change A Girl's Life for The Prince's Trust, supported proudly by Dell Technologies, is raising vital funds to raise up, rebuild and give these young women everything they need to make a life for themselves.

The courses The Prince's Trust offers helps these young women gain the skills and confidence they need for training, education and building a future for themselves.

The Prince's Trust has changed my life in so many ways. From not only having a job and a stable income but they've also given me the confidence that I needed to believe in myself again, which I had lost heavily due to being stuck in the pandemic.

Having a mentor that can guide me. That whenever I have question or wherever I feel that I want to push my ideas or I have an idea, I go to my mentor. Me, as a person, that's never did business before have somebody that can guide me to push my dreams basically.

By shopping with brands who are supporting this campaign or directly donating to The Prince's Trust, you can Change A Girl's Life this International Women's Day.

The Trust has changed my life and this is their chance to change more.

Help young women to break the cycle and start something new.

The impact of #ChangeAGirlsLife

Many young women face barriers to fulfilling their potential. That’s why we're raising vital funds to help them build a better future through employment, education or by starting their own business.

In 2020, I completed a programme with The Prince's Trust called Get Started with the Ambulance Service where they equipped you with interview skills, they helped you write your CV and they gave me some support in terms of a mentor which saw me through the whole application process when I eventually did apply for the job.

Before The Prince's Trust I was unemployed. I didn't have any way of achieving my goals or ambitions. I was really lacking confidence and I was a shell of the person that I am today. Now I look at myself and I am so much more confident. I've found my purpose in life that I feel I'm born to do. I've got my dream job now. I'm happier. My kids are thriving.

For anyone who is thinking about donating or fundraising for Prince's Trust all you have to do is just look at the thousands of people that they have helped over the years just to see the success and the impact it has on changing a young person's life.

So I completed the Enterprise programme at The Prince's Trust. It was a two-day course online. You have to go through all the different steps to make sure that your business is actually viable and that it actually will work. From there you get put in front of a panel to describe what your business is and then if it's successful then you get to go forward and you get a mentor for two years.

Having a mentor that can guide me, that whenever I have a question or wherever I feel that I want to push my ideas or I have an idea, I go to my mentor and they give me some sound advice. There's going to be challenges. There's going to be a lot of things that are going to come my way but again it's one of those ones where you kind of have to just step into your growth and step into the direction that you want to go into.

The Trust changed my life and this is a chance for them to help change more.

In total I've done about three programmes with The Prince's Trust. I started off with the Explore programme back in the beginning of 2021 and this programme helped me a lot because I just got diagnosed with depression and anxiety. It helped me find my feet again especially in a world where nothing was going on with the pandemic.

Final programme, which led me to my job today, is Get into Digital Marketing with WYK which helped me get the job that I have currently.

The Prince's Trust has changed my life in so many ways from not only having a job and a stable income but they've also given me the confidence that I needed to self-believe in myself again which I had lost heavily due to being stuck in the pandemic.

I feel very optimistic about my future. I have so many dreams and I have so many goals and none of them are sitting on the shelf anymore. They're all on a whiteboard in front of, in my living room and I know I will be accomplishing it someday, so very optimistic.

The Trust has changed my life and this is their chance to change more.

I did the explore program with The Prince's Trust and it was over two weeks and Prince's Trust worked with me to build my confidence, my self-esteem.

Before Prince's Trust I was very down and I had quite bad depression and I couldn't leave the house because of really bad anxiety.

Prince's Trust changed my life by giving me the opportunity to be myself again. Being able to go out and talk to people. To be able to go on public transport again.

The Trust changed my life and this is a chance to help them change more.
