Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has teamed up with youth charity The Prince’s Trust to help establish a new state-of-the-art centre in the heart of Newcastle to support thousands of disadvantaged young people from across the region.

Cheryl visited the current centre in Newcastle to meet with some of the young people from the North East who have been supported by the charity, to find out how their lives have changed, thanks to the Prince’s Trust.

Jade Savvery, one of the young people who met Cheryl, remarked; “Being from the North East, [Cheryl] really understands the problems young people face.” Jade has personal experience of the transformational effect the Prince’s Trust can have for young people. “I went through a real rough patch, I didn’t think I would make it through school. I find it hard to believe where I am now,” Jade said. “The Prince’s Trust has seen me through some dark times and I am so grateful to them.”
