One of the first events of its kind for the King’s Trust Change A Girl’s Life initiative was held at the Queens Hotel.
MPs, representatives from The King’s Trust and VIPs were among the attendees of the Freya Rose gala.
It was the third gala organised by Freya Rose and DJ Cuppy, ensured there was a cool vibe to keep the party swinging.
Portsmouth based Freya Rose is an internationally famous luxury shoe and jewellery designer. Moreover her designs are sold in famous stores such as Nordstrom and Harvey Nichols
Style icons including, HRH The Princess of Wales, Kate Moss and Rihanna have worn her designs.
15 years ago Freya had a dream to start her own business. At the start of her journey Freya was supported by The Prince’s Trust enterprise scheme. Certainly, this was invaluable support and provided her with a loan and mentorship.
“As a business we want to give back – it’s important to always give back.
“Consequently the reason I’m so deeply passionate about The King’s Trust is because I have met people from all walks of life and some of the most creative and talented people have come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
“They haven’t always had the opportunity to be or do something different as they have limited or no resources to create opportunities to advance themselves. This leaves them stuck in the poverty trap, society can be unfair and I have certainly witnessed this in the industry I work in.”
