King's Trust

Working for Young People

Through our partnership with The King’s Trust we have helped over 6,200 young people, empowering them with the skills and confidence for a brighter future by providing training, development, and employment opportunities.

Homesense and TK Maxx are longstanding sponsors of The King's Trust Awards, specifically sponsoring the Homesense Young Achiever Award.

Employability Programmes

Through our partnership with The King’s Trust, we run four Get Into employability programmes. We work closely with the charity to offer 16-30-year-olds programmes that are carefully designed to help them build confidence, learn new skills and gain valuable experience. Young people benefit and we offer a range of employment opportunities.

Since 2013, TK Maxx and Homesense are proud to have helped over 2,200 young people through the Get Into programme. Over 80% of those who successfully complete a Get Into programme go on to pursue a career with us.

Achieve confidence and more

Homesense is also supporting 'The King’s Trust's Achieve' programme, a personal development course aimed to re-engage 11-19-year-olds within education. So far, through this programme, we've helped over 6,200 young people develop their skills and confidence to continue with their education and succeed.

Since 2016, together with our customers, Homesense has raised over £2.3 million for The King’s Trust.

The King’s Trust Awards

Homesense and TK Maxx are longstanding sponsors of The King’s Trust Awards which celebrates young people who have succeeded against the odds, improved their chances in life and had a positive impact on their local communities, as well as people who have played a role in supporting the work of The King’s Trust.

We also sponsor the Homesense Young Achiever Award, which recognises inspiring young people who have overcome barriers to transform their lives.

How our partnership helps to shape lives...

Levi was adopted at a young age and moved to an education support centre during his teens, due to troubles at school. This is where he started on the Achieve programme. Since then, he has obtained his level 1 Award, taken his GCSEs, become a mentor for other young people and is now applying for apprenticeships.

“The King’s Trust became my safe haven. Life’s more manageable when you have people around who you can trust”.
