Supermodel named global ambassador
Naomi Campbell has become a Global Ambassador for The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust (QCT).
The 51-year-old model has shown her support for young entrepreneurial leaders across the Commonwealth by signing up to be an ambassador for the organisation, which invests in young leaders who are transforming their communities through partnerships, and helps offer them opportunities, training, and funding.
Her addition to the QCT team was announced on Thursday just before the start of London Fashion Week, at a special event hosted by Hotel Café Royal.
The model was joined at the event by Christopher Kelly, CEO of the international development charity, and QCT-funded young entrepreneur Bukola ‘Bukky’ Bolarinwa.
Speaking at the event, Campbell said “It is my privilege to accept this role as Global Ambassador for The Queen’s Commonwealth Trust. Regardless of where you are from or where you are now, there are young leaders within your community doing amazing work. Sometimes they are not seen and some of them may not even see themselves as ‘leaders’ yet, but they all deserve our support, and access to education and resources.” QCT was set up in 2018 in recognition of Queen Elizabeth’s lifetime of service to others and her love for the Commonwealth and its young people.
