Chic co-founder Nile Rodgers and entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson have joined forces in an attempt to “make a difference” for youth activists and drive change around issues such as climate change.

Sir Richard’s non-profit foundation Virgin Unite will pledge more than a million dollars (£770,000) as it turns 20 this year, and partner with Rodgers’ We Are Family Foundation (WAFF) to support youth organisations.
