charity is getting a makeover in a bid to try and make it more appealing to the younger 'generation'.
The charity, which started as , was founded by then-Prince Charles in 1976, and is one of the monarch greatest achievements. However in the event of his reign, the charity has finally become The King's Trust - and in an attempt to keep up with the times, the King wanted the rebrand to be 'relevant' for younger people.
