Exeter-based South West Communications Group has pledged to raise in excess of £20,000 for the Prince's Trust during the next six months.

A series of events have been planned with nearly £4,000 already raised for the Prince's Trust, which provides practical and financial support to the young people who need it most by developing key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling them to move into work, education or training. South West Communications Group's efforts will support young people in the Exeter area.

South West Communications Group is part of the Prince's Trust 'Million Makers' UK enterprise challenge involving teams throughout the country competing against each other to raise the required funds. In the south west region, there are teams from Exeter, Plymouth and Bristol with South West Communications Group aiming to beat their business rivals in making Exeter the best location for fundraising.

South West Communications Group has set up a fundraising committee, chaired up by senior account manager Simon Dunstan, that includes managing director Harry Langley and fellow directors Brett Varker and Sarah Flowers.

Langley said: "As a business, we have always supported local charities that help children and young people living in our area. We are honored to be raising money for the Prince's Trust and everyone at South West Communications Group is already working hard to achieve our fundraising target."
