Fast and Furious: Sparkle Ambassador Gus takes the lead
Sparkle Ambassador, Gus Burton, proudly displaying his Sparkle Foundation logo on his suit, celebrates his second win of the season in British GT4 at Donington Park last week.
Now that Gus has just finished sixth form, he will be training hard to prepare for the next competition on the GP circuit of Spa Francorchamps on 25th July. With the UK on Belgium’s Covid red list, the administration and numerous PCR tests might present the biggest challenge!
Since becoming a Sparkle Ambassador, Gus has continued to shine and sparkle in all of his races and appearances. To keep up with his upcoming races, you can follow him on social media’s here.
The Sparkle Foundation is proud to celebrate a major milestone: the graduation of Cohort One from the Job Readiness Programme, delivered in partnership with NAMA Women Advancement and with the support of HeR Liberty Malawi. Over six weeks, participants worked through a full curriculum designed to build practical, real-world skills in digital literacy, business management and financial planning. The Sparkle Foundation designed the programme to meet women where they are, equipping them not just with theory, but with tools they can put to use immediately in their own lives and livelihoods.
From 1 September, Amèlie will take on 200 km over the course of a month, sharing her training, runs, progress and fundraising journey along the way. For a 12-year-old, it is an incredible commitment. But Amèlie knows exactly why she is doing it
