Hagerty Youth Judging with City Lions
Concours on Savile Row welcomes back City Lions for 2024, who offer a wide-ranging programme of events for Westminster’s young people aged 13 to 16.
The City Lions programme works with a wide range of Westminster’s businesses to help get young people exclusive access to the most inspiring cultural organisations and the chance to boost their CV by taking part in career talks, workshops and work placements with some of the biggest names in the cultural and creative sectors.
This year, two groups of students from Westminster schools will again be judging the concours cars on display in association with the worldwide Hagerty Youth Judging scheme. The Youth Judging scheme is part of a series of youth-focused programmes from Hagerty designed to excite young people about automotive history and the collector vehicle hobby.
For this year’s event, City Lions has teamed up with tailors event organisers Hothouse Media, to provide careers talks on how to get into the diverse worlds of tailoring and automotive journalism. Hosted by Maurice Sedwell, guest speakers include motoring journalists Sarah Bradley and Nathan Chadwick, plus tailors Vivienne Davis from Scabal and Judith Ekblom, manager of Maurice Sedwell. Young people will get to experience tailoring first-hand, with activities such as cutting and chalking at Maurice Sedwell, while students from the Savile Row Bespoke Academy will be on hand to show just what goes into being a tailor.
City Lions are constantly on the lookout for opportunities to support young people and would love to hear from anyone who would like to get involved, for more information on the work City Lions does and how to get in touch, head to https://citylions.org/partners/register-your-interest/ and to learn more about the Savile Row Bespoke Academy, head to www.savilerowbespokeacademy.co.uk
