A BLACKSMITH'S forge near Falmouth was the venue for week ten of a man from Cornwall's plan to complete 52 jobs in a year.

Matt Frost took up the challenge in the hope of discovering his dream job, donating all of his wages to the Prince's Trust charity, which helps support disadvantaged youngsters.

The 29-year-old from Liskeard said: "I worked at the Prince's Trust for a week and it was the most rewarding placement I've done so far. It really does help change young people's lives. It helps young people get into work and it fits in with what I am trying to achieve.

"At first I wanted to raise £12,000 throughout the year but that's not enough. I've got to try to use this opportunity to raise as much money as possible.

"It's all going towards helping young people who otherwise wouldn't receive the help they need."

"I've done a week at The Sunday Times, I worked on a farm and I went to a PR company where I got to pack up bonbons.

"I also worked for a stunt company in London and got professionally abused.

"I have already met an incredible range of amazing people and that's just as interesting as the different jobs I've been doing."

Despite enjoying the roles, Mr Frost has not discovered his dream job just yet.

"I haven't settled on one of the jobs I have experienced so far.

"There hasn't been one job that has grabbed me and made me want to run back there but I have got some interesting offers lined up."

The apprentice is looking for more placements and hoping to secure business sponsorship "just for a bit of dinner money".

He said: "All of the money I get from wages goes straight to the charity."
