The Musson Foundation has launched Read & Skate, a new initiative at Freedom Skate Park aimed at introducing young skaters and children from nearby communities to careers in the creative industries. The programme forms part of the foundation’s wider effort to support local talent and promote creativity as a driver of economic opportunity. Here Vanessa Nelson (second right), project and programme coordinator, Musson Foundation; and Lisa D’Oyen (right), executive director, Seprod Foundation, share a moment with ‘Future Makers’ author Joel Nomdarkham (left); Blake Burnett (centre), park manager, Freedom Skate Park, and young skater Jaiquan Dillon at the launch of the Read & Skate programme.
