We believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. If we are to maintain our world-class screen industries we must invest in the next generation of talent. Barriers such as low income, bad careers advice, disability, diversity and gender are preventing many from pursuing careers in the creative industries. We want to support the next generation to overcome these obstacles and make it easier to achieve their full potential.
The redevelopment of 195 Piccadilly will enable us to significantly increase the programme of learning and new talent events and access to these initiatives. The redeveloped building will generate an additional £1m per year in revenues, allowing us to fund UK-wide and international programmes that nurture, support and inspire talented individuals.
