Digital Manager

About Media Trust   

At Media Trust, we believe it’s by giving everyone a voice that we’ll get to a more equal society. That’s why we work with charities to strengthen their storytelling, campaigning, press engagement and social media. We do this through media, communications and digital skills training delivered with our media and creative industry partners and by matching charities looking for content creation and other media-related support with media industry volunteers looking to give back. At the same time, our programmes for under-represented talent are giving young and diverse talent the creative media skills, access and mentoring to break into the media.  For more information about Media Trust’s work, see our 2023 Impact Report.
