Mo Siewcharran, a former Director of Marketing and Communications at Nielsen Books, died suddenly in June 2017. Mo had worked there for over 16 years and before that had worked for Hamlyn, Penguin and Haynes. In 2018, Mo’s husband, John Seaton, launched a memorial fund to encourage young people from Black, Asian and ethnically-diverse backgrounds to pursue a career in the Arts. The Fund, administered by Creative Access, originally supported internships for young talent from ethnicities that are under-represented in the theatre and publishing industries. In 2021 this was extended to include the music industry. Mo was passionate about all three disciplines and her passion lives on through this Fund. Awards are granted twice yearly in July and December. The Mo Siewcharran Fund contributes to the salary of an intern for a six-month traineeship and a full programme of support is provided by the Fund’s partner, Creative Access, to ensure the trainee thrives in their new role.
Creative Access is a social enterprise providing career-long access, opportunities, support and training to make the creative economy better reflect society.
