Brixton Finishing School

The Finishing School Foundation Trustees and Donors 💙 (TFSF) (Charity Number: 1204615) Meet Ben Major, Ben Major, Global Head of Talent at Uncommon “Our industry is facing a talent crisis. The systemic neglect of the arts in education is making creativity an elitist sport. The opportunity for those not in education, training or employment have very little chance of breaking into the industry without the incredible work BFS provides to better connect talent with opportunity. The Foundation now makes that a reality for those most in need. We have never needed it more and I'm hopeful our industry will recognise the positive impact the Foundation can have and support us in our quest”.

If you’re a young person trying to break into the industry, it can be near impossible to get your portfolio in the hands of creative decision makers. You know what’s much easier to get into those same hands? A beer. That’s why House 337 has partnered with Brixton Finishing School and London Beer Lab to create a beer that turns every label into a creative canvas for young talent. Our goal? Stock this beer in every agency in London, creating more opportunities for the next generation of creatives. If your agency buys beer (and we know it does), swap your usual orders for ours. It’s easy, and you’ll be supporting a great cause. Just get in touch with me, Lauren Estwick, or anyone at House 337 to get involved. Big thanks to LBBonline - Little Black Book for all your support.

Introducing The Finishing School Foundation 💙 (TFSF) (Charity Number: 1204615) TFSF is the new sister charity of BFS, designed to empower NEET talent to reach their potential in the Marketing & Creative Industries. TFSF will provide bespoke employability training for NEET talent. In addition, it provides practical support for NEET talent while they complete the free Brixton Finishing School Courses. This could take the form of living cost bursaries or access to mental wellness and neurodiversity support. 807,000 18-24-year-olds in the UK have NEET status (ONS). First and foremost thai represents a loss of potential - the longer a young person has NEET status the more likely it is that future employment, mental health and earnings will deteriorate - We’re working to break the cycle but can’t do it without your support. We’re fortunate enough to have the support of incredible trustees and donors including Callie Strickland, Dino Myers-Lamptey, Ben Francis MBE, Alejandra Herrera, Genna Osler, Caroline Forbes and Ben Major. Any donation, big or small, will make a huge difference to our talent and ultimately to their lives and the future of the industry ✨ .
