Integrating Solutions Limited is one of the main sponsors for The Prince’s Trust More Than Hope Gala Event which was held at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London on Tuesday 9^th February.

With a host of entertainment, including celebrity guests and sporting heroes, More Than Hope is a fundraising initiative that aims to help young people overcome the obstacles they face and help them to realise their full potential.

Office and production printing giant Ricoh have been working with the Trust for the last 18 months and the fundraising event sees them continue this beneficial relationship.

According to Ricoh CEO Phil Keoghan: “We are delighted to be awarded silver status, which we feel reflects positively on all the good work we have done so far with The Prince’s Trust. We’re especially proud of one of our talented new recruits at Ricoh, who came to us via The Prince’s Trust.”

The company has recently been awarded Silver Patron status from the Trust for their efforts in helping young people get into work, including running workshops and seminars.

Integrating Solutions Limited, who provide Ricoh products to a wide range of businesses across the UK, have also come on board to sponsor the event which attracted celebrities from across film, sport, theatre and comedy on Tuesday night.

Director for ISL, Graham Fisk, said: “This is an opportunity for organisations such as ourselves to give back to the community but also to ensure that young people have the best start possible in life. A vibrant, young workforce that continues to contribute is important not only to us as a business but to society as a whole.”

The Prince’s Trust has been helping young people between the ages of 13 and 30 years old for the last 40 years. It provides support for those struggling at school or having problems finding work. Many of the young people that the Trust has helped over the years suffer from mental health problems, homelessness or have spent their younger years in care. The aim of the Trust is to give young and vulnerable people the
tools and support they need to stabilise their lives and begin to thrive and move forward.

The More Than Hope Gala Evening on Tuesday attracted more than 400 stars, magicians, comedians and other celebrities that took part in auctions to raise money for The Prince’s Trust.
