We’re living through challenging times, which is why it’s never been more important to find the people who share your passion for the things you love.
Future Proof is a new series, produced in collaboration with Squarespace, sharing the stories of people who have taken their passion to the next level by bringing it online. Whether it’s the motorheads of VC London, the pioneers of Black Trail Runners, or the team behind the Strawberries & Creem Festival, these are people who have built communities from the ground up.
