MILLION MAKERS

Why we're doing this

We've been working with The Prince's Trust for over a decade, but this year we wanted to do more.

The Million Makers competition brings together small teams from companies across the UK. They pitch their fundraising ideas and between July and December, try to realise those plans to make as much money as possible for The Trust and those who rely on The Trust's work.

This year, staff from PlayStation's London & Liverpool offices have come together to launch Play with the Champions.

The Prince’s Trust believes that every young person should have the chance to succeed, no matter their background or the challenges they are facing. They help young people from disadvantaged communities and those facing the greatest adversity by supporting them to build the confidence and skills to live, learn and earn.

Team PLAYER ONE from PlayStation are organising the Play with the Champions series of events to raise funds for The Prince’s Trust through the Million Makers challenge - running until 31st December 2023. The Prince’s Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales (1079675) and Scotland (SC041198).
