Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge from all of us at The British Asian Trust, a Prince's Charity. We encourage you to emulate the newlyweds--who asked well-wishers to donate to charity--and invite your guests to support The British Asian Trust through a wedding list . You can see donations in action--even when you're on the move--with the Trust's newly-launched app. This month we are very excited and grateful to join forces with corporate partners Lycamobile and Golden Tours to address the critical issue of youth unemployment in India.
Manoj Badale, Chairman

Follow in the footsteps of the Royal Couple and celebrate your wedding by asking guests to give a gift to charity.

You can do the same by inviting your guests to contribute to The British Asian Trust. Read more about our wedding list.

The decline of the cotton industry and rise of poverty in Burnley, Lancashire, means that life is challenging for families living in what is now the UK’s most deprived borough. Children often bear the brunt. Among other initiatives in Burnley, The British Asian Trust and 11 other of The Prince’s Charities  are working to raise the health and achievement levels of children there. That is exactly what is happening at Stoneyholme Primary School serving the South Asian community. The breakfast club there and at 11 other local schools is reaching 500 children. Read more.
