Taylor Bennett Foundation

Since 2008, Taylor Bennett has been seeking directly to address the need for greater diversity in the communications & PR industry. We have done this through the delivery of a 10 week communications and personal development training programme for black and minority ethnic graduates, specifically designed to strengthen their skills and provide them with industry relevant work experience. We have been fortunate to work closely with universities, agencies, in-house communications teams and media owners, and together we are equipping talented individuals with the necessary skills to launch their communications careers. In November 2010 we were thrilled to be awarded the prestigious Lord Mayor’s Dragon Award for our work tackling social exclusion. The Taylor Bennett Foundation is being established as an independent registered charity to ensure the expansion and continuity of the programme, and to enable its work to have a wider profile. This programme depends on great partnerships to help deliver its ambitions and we are very grateful to all those who have already contributed extensively with their time and money.
