The British Fashion Council (BFC) has announced its annual programme of talent support and impact. In 2020-21, the BFC raised £1.7 million for its charity, the BFC Foundation, and its talent support initiatives. This year (2021-22) the BFC Foundation will support 34 designers and a number of students through mentoring and financial support grants.
The BFC Foundation supports the future growth and success of the British fashion industry by focusing on education, grant-giving and business mentoring. The charity activates four support initiatives and allocates several scholarships each year to students, aiming to strengthen those leading the way in terms of creativity, positive business growth, environmental and community impact as well as to increase the diversity of the talent pool, BFC said in a media release.
