SIR – The unemployed youngsters reported by Catherine Phillips (Worcester News, January 2) who not only collected £600 by bagpacking in supermarkets and car washing at garden centres but then went on to revamp the Army Cadets’headquarters are a credit to the Prince’s Trust team in which they were taking part, and to themselves.

I sincerely hope they all find full time employment as any employer would be assured of good service.
