Creative Businesses

The Prince's Trust, through the Genesis Foundation, is to provide start up loans to disadvantaged young people wishing to become self-employed in the creative Arts.

The long-term partnership will support a range of young people including musicians, singers, artists, sculptors and playwrights empowering them to set up their own enterprises and maximise their talents.

The Genesis Foundation formed a partnership with the Prince's Trust in 2002 to support a new strand of Creative Businesses.

The aim was that these should be all new business ventures by young people that in some way were associated with the arts. The partnership was a natural coming together of these two organizations.
