Metallic Fund & NOCTA Empower London’s Young Creatives with COMMUNITY CHAMPS Summer Program

This summer, Metallic Fund is teaming up with NOCTA to launch COMMUNITY CHAMPS, an exciting initiative designed to uplift and inspire London’s young creative community. Running from August 23 to September 7, the three-week summer program offers hands-on education led by some of the city's most influential creative minds, providing a rare opportunity for aspiring artists, fashion designers, and filmmakers to learn directly from the best in their fields.

Thier mission is to foster a strong sense of creative purpose among inner-city youth. The program is carefully curated to give participants access to industry leaders who have not only succeeded in their careers but are also passionate about giving back to the community that shaped them.

Participants in COMMUNITY CHAMPS can choose to focus on one of three disciplines: Fashion, Art, or Photography/Film. Each program is designed to provide in-depth, practical knowledge and experience in the chosen field, from the initial spark of inspiration to the final stages of execution. Whether it’s learning the intricacies of fashion design, exploring the nuances of visual art, or mastering the technical skills of photography and filmmaking, students will receive unparalleled guidance and mentorship.

The involvement of local heroes from London’s creative scene is a key aspect of the COMMUNITY CHAMPS program. These leaders bring with them a wealth of experience and insight, offering students a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed in the highly competitive creative industries. Their mentorship is expected to be a transformative experience, empowering young creatives to pursue their passions with confidence and determination.

COMMUNITY CHAMPS represents a significant step in Metallic Fund and NOCTA’s shared vision of nurturing the next generation of creative talent. By investing in education and providing real-world opportunities, the program aims to bridge the gap between aspiration and achievement, giving young creatives the tools they need to turn their dreams into reality.
