Princess Beatrice, Founder of Big Change Charity makes progress with new project announcements.
HRH, along with six friends, founded The Big Change Charitable Trust, which identifies and supports charitable projects throughout the UK that improve the lives of young people. In September, 2012, Princess Beatrice alongside her fellow founders climbed Mont Blanc in The Big Change’s first fundraising project: The Big Climb.
The series of new partnerships and education projects is aimed at transforming education and tackling challenges at their root cause.They include; the Big Leadership Adventure, a two-year leadership programme that strives to drive systemic education change, as well as a collaboration with a charity called Lighthouse, which is working to make sure that children in the care system get the same education opportunities as everyone else.
According to the website, the charity explained:
“When you think about the scale of education reform that is needed and, what it will take to create a modern education system that is fit for purpose, it’s it can be quite overwhelming. That’s why we’re bringing together innovative people who have some of the answers working on solutions and helping them scale their innovative ideas. By amplifying their impact, we can show the world that change is possible and importantly, provide a blueprint for how others to make it happen too. As we say at Big Change, education is everybody’s business and our work aims to empower educators, businesses, governments, parents, students and leaders all over the world to become agents of education change. This is the only way that wide-scale impact can be created. Each of the project partners we have chosen to work with this year address these different areas at their very core and really capture what we hope change will look like.”
The Royal is set to get married this year to Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and we can’t wait to share the event with you.
