51³Ô¹ÏÍø

Participants on the Careers Service's Charity Insights scheme will be blogging about their efforts and experiences during their four week internships.

Charity Insights 2014 is upon us and participants have been asked to write  about the work they are doing with their respective charities.

Charity Insights is an 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Careers Service initiative which gives undergraduate and PhD students the chance to complete a four week internship in a UK charity of their choice. The Careers Service provides the students with a bursary of £245 per week over the course of their internship.

This is the third year the scheme has run. Students are completing graduate level projects which make a real impact to the charities they are working with. This year we have a record 20 students on the scheme, with a wider range of projects being undertaken than ever before!
