Burberry

Burberry Inspire is a global programme dedicated to providing safe spaces for young people to explore their creativity, develop new skills and foster positive change in their lives and in their communities. Last week, the programme’s mission was taken to new heights with our first Burberry Inspire showcase, which saw young people from twelve OnSide Youth Zones come together to celebrate creativity and inspire each other. The talent showcase saw the unveiling of an arts mural, a performance of a scene from ‘Oliver!’, the demonstration of a Burberry Inspire Kit Car Project, and more. Chief Executive at OnSide, Jamie Masraff, commented, ‘We loved being part of the Burberry Inspire Showcase! It was amazing to have over 60 young people dancing, singing, and showcasing their Burberry Inspire initiatives along to their own DJ soundtrack! We are grateful to The Burberry Foundation for empowering tens of thousands of young people across our Youth Zone network from Carlisle to Croydon.’ Discover more about the Burberry Inspire Showcase here: https://lnkd.in/gBwxDg2q

Last week, The Burberry Foundation hosted its first Burberry Inspire Showcase, bringing together young people from across the nation in a celebration of creativity.    Hosted at our office in Leeds, the event saw over 60 young people from twelve OnSide Youth Zones present a project that they’ve been working on within the last year.    The VP, Head of Burberry Business Services in Leeds, Rob Blomfield, and employee volunteer at the Burberry Inspire Showcase commented, ‘It was so inspiring to see the young people come together to showcase the projects they’ve been working on, and to demonstrate the new skills and confidence that they’ve developed through the support of Burberry Inspire. I’m in awe of the talent and creativity that we witnessed and hope that we may see some of these young people return to Burberry as colleagues in the future.’    Discover more about the Burberry Inspire Showcase here: https://lnkd.in/gBwxDg2q
