WE'RE PUTTING OUR FEET WHERE OUR VALUES ARE

This October 12th, a team of us from BBD Perfect Storm are running the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise vital funds for Making the Leap – a brilliant charity helping young people from less-advantaged backgrounds access the futures they deserve.

HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE MAKE THE LEAP

In the UK today, too many talented young people are held back by the circumstances they’re born into. Making the Leap works to break that cycle – equipping young people with the confidence, skills and support they need to kickstart meaningful careers. Their work transforms lives. And we’re running to help make more of that happen.

We’re a mix of creatives, strategists, runners (and not-so-runners), but united in our belief that talent should never go to waste. If you can, please donate to support our run – and more importantly, help Making the Leap continue their life-changing work.

Every step we take is a step towards a world where your opportunities aren’t defined by your circumstances, but by your sheer talent.

Thank you for visiting our page and supporting us and Making the Leap.

SPACE FOR ME

Making the Leap are a charity that improve social mobility by increasing opportunities for young people. As their partner, we created a platform to open up the creative industries, asking companies to work with MTL to increase their intake of working class employees through roles, internships and training. Where only 16.2% of people in the creative industries are from working-class background, this is a rallying call to arms for our industry to make a change. We launched on Social Mobility Day with the following stills, as well as our hero film Space for Me.
