The British Fashion Council is delighted to announce its annual programme of talent support and impact. In 2022/23, the BFC remitted £1.2 million to its charity, the BFC Foundation, supporting 39 designers and 30 students through mentoring and financial support grants. 

The BFC Foundation supports the future growth and success of the British fashion industry by focusing on education, grant-giving and business mentoring, further enhancing the UK’s position as the best place to study, start and develop a fashion business. The charity activates four support initiatives and allocates several scholarships each year to students, aiming to strengthen those leading the way in terms of creativity, positive business growth, environmental and community impact as well as to increase the diversity of the talent pool. The support initiatives are: BFC NEWGEN, BFC/GQ Designer Fashion Fund, BFC Fashion Trust and BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund.
