We want every young person to have the greatest opportunity to flourish and we believe creativity plays a vital role in opening space for development, innovation and opportunity. We are proud to come together with OnSide again this year to celebrate the creative projects their youth zones have worked so hard on, and hope the experience gives the young people both a newfound confidence and a greater awareness of their potential,' Lord Chris Holmes MBE, Chair of The Burberry Foundation Trustees said in a press release.

'We are proud to work with The Burberry Foundation to give young people from across our network the chance to explore their creativity, build new skills and discover their potential.
