King Charles III will welcome the winners of The King's Trust Awards 2025 to Buckingham Palace for a special reception.
The monarch will be accompanied by prominent supporters and ambassadors of the Trust, including George and Amal Clooney and Dame Joanna Lumley.
Charles had previously welcomed the Clooneys in 2019 at a reception of what was then called The Prince's Trust. Also joining them for the event will be Charlotte Tilbury, Jaime Laing and Sophie Habboo.
The gathering will honour young people who have transformed their lives and made meaningful contributions to their communities.

It will mark the twenty-first annual ceremony, though it represents the first time the event will be held under its new name, The King's Trust Awards, following its previous incarnation as The Prince's Trust Awards.
This year's winners have triumphed over significant obstacles, including mental health struggles, educational difficulties and youth unemployment, all with support from the Trust.
During the reception, His Majesty will meet winners across eight UK categories.
