In partnership with England international footballer Marcus Rashford, Burberry today announced its support for organisations in the UK committed to helping disadvantaged children develop their literacy skills. The British brand has a very detailed charity programme aimed at supporting organisations and has once again renewed its commitment to helping the next generation realise their dreams, unlocking opportunities and giving them the tools to go further. Burberry will provide funding to transform school libraries and donate books, ensuring children have access to safe environments and resources to develop their potential. In addition, the United footballer and the brand will also support organisations in the US and Asia to create new libraries and provide all materials to disadvantaged communities.
