The team is aged between 16 and 25, unemployed and not in full-time education or training. To join the programme it is free and will not affect any Jobseeker’s allowance.

The Team programme is also available for employees who would like a chance to develop new interpersonal skills to improve long-term career prospects.

A 12 week course offers the opportunity to take on different challenges and 70% of unemployed participants go on to jobs, training or education within three months of completing the Prince’s Trust Team programme. The current crew are gathering resources and materials to undergo an number of repair and renovation jobs at Ynysybwl Community Centre e.g. painting, cleaning, gardening, building, carpentry, etc.
