About The King’s Trust
Recent research finds one in five young people not in employment, education or training (NEET) are applying for jobs every day, and almost a third (30%) say they have experienced a mental health problem due to being unemployed (The King’s Trust TK Maxx Youth Index 2025).
The King’s Trust believes every young person should have the chance to succeed, no matter the challenges they are facing. The Trust helps young people to develop essential life skills, get ready for work and access job opportunities because they know having a job or running a business can lead to a more stable, fulfilling life. 💛
Palace to Palace raises much needed funds to support the work of The Trust, and it’s also a fun day out! The event has two route choices, the classic 45-mile route, or if you’re feeling brave, you can push yourself and take on the 90-mile ultra route. ➡️ View route
No matter which route you choose you’ll cycle past iconic landmarks, such as:
