Providing resources for these communities in a sustainable way will enable them to bring their creativity to life and continue through their programmes with the tools they need. We look forward to seeing how donations can positively impact these academic institutions and students and hope this is the beginning of a wider industry initiative to support these communities, now and in the future,” Pam Batty, VP of corporate responsibility at Burberry, said in a press release.
