The Prince of Wales is set to visit The Amos Bursary today at UrbanMBA's offices in Hoxton, East London, where he will spend time with scholars and alumni of the programme.
The engagement, which falls during Black History Month, will shine a light on the charity's efforts to nurture the next generation of black British leaders.
The Amos Bursary is a prominent organisation dedicated to helping high-achieving young people of African and Caribbean heritage reach their full potential.
During Black History Month, the charity encourages its students to take part in various events and initiatives, among them Black Business Week and Tech Fest.
Baroness Valerie Amos and Colleen Amos established the charity in 2009, driven by the conviction that while talent is evenly distributed, opportunity is not.
Its distinctive five-year programme guides students from sixth form all the way through to university graduation, offering financial assistance, mentoring, leadership training, access to professional networks and career pathways.
At its core, the organisation aims to dismantle obstacles to social mobility, equipping young people with the confidence, connections and capabilities they need to excel in their chosen fields.

The bursary seeks to ensure that no structural barrier prevents talented individuals from thriving in their careers.
Today's visit will be hosted by UrbanMBA, a charity working to support marginalised young adults through educational and mentoring initiatives.
The organisation operates from its Hoxton base, where it provides co-working facilities used by groups including The Amos Bursary.

Beyond offering shared workspace, UrbanMBA runs courses, workshops and training programmes with a particular focus on technology, all designed to help young Black communities forge successful professional paths and launch businesses.
The partnership between the two organisations reflects a shared commitment to opening doors for young people who might otherwise face systemic disadvantages in education and the workplace.
