The King’s Foundation launches 35 under 35 network
Today, we’re launching a nationwide search for the next generation of makers and changemakers – The King’s Foundation’s 35 under 35.
To celebrate our 35th anniversary, we are searching for a group of exceptional young people who represent the change The King’s Foundation wants to see in the world across nature and sustainability, traditional arts and crafts, textiles, architecture and urbanism, health and wellbeing, horticulture and farming.
Young people aged 18-35 working across this range of subject areas – all rooted in the natural world – are invited to apply.
The aim for the 35 under 35 network is to represent what we stand for as a charity in line with the vision of our Royal Founding President, King Charles III, with the ultimate aim of a world where people, places and the planet live together in harmony. The King’s Foundation’s 35 under 35 network will ensure His Majesty’s pioneering work is preserved for the next generation.
“We are so excited to begin the search for a new generation of advocates for the work of The King’s Foundation. We hope our 35 under 35 will become a dynamic and visionary group of young people who espouse the values we champion at The King’s Foundation.”
Kristina Murrin CBE, Chief Executive of The King’s Foundation
“We can’t wait to see what talent the UK has to offer and start working with our 35 under 35 in our anniversary year. We encourage anyone who has an interest in the wide range of topics we stand for as a charity to apply, and we look forward to hearing from you!”
We are looking for young people who are engaged, active on social media and whose work chimes with our philosophy of Harmony. Applicants must be aged 18-35 at time of applying, and applications can be made on our website.
The final 35 will have the chance to showcase their specialism and passion at a range of events throughout the year, as well as having the chance to visit our sites across the UK for content gathering and experience days, including Dumfries House, Highgrove Gardens and the Garrison Chapel.
Applications for the scheme will close at midday on Friday 28 March, with the final 35 announced in April 2025. To mark today’s launch, a video has been released on The King’s Foundation social media channels featuring contributions from our Ambassadors David Beckham, Alan Titchmarsh, Sarah Beeny and Patrick Grant, as well as students, alumni and partners.
