BE OPEN Foundation has joined forces with the Mayor’s Fund for London to help young unemployed Londoners play a greater part in the future of the capital – through the arts. Elena Baturina has supported the Mayor’s Fund for London initiative, providing a major boost to 17-24 year-olds across the city through arts-based employability programme Creativity Works.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson, Patron of the Mayor’s Fund for London, said: “To ensure London’s status as the indisputable global capital of culture and creativity, it is vital that young Londoners are equipped with the skills they need to enter this most dynamic of sectors. Creativity Works is an excellent way for youngsters to bridge the gap between their artistic talent and the immense opportunities available to them in our city, and having BE OPEN Foundation on board will help to make a real difference. It is fantastic to have supporters like this backing the Mayor’s Fund for London and I hope other individuals and organisations will get on board to help this great cause.”
