"Communication skills are vital for all organisations and if the voluntary sector is to play a full part in society its work must be seen and heard."
"Any organisation wanting to take full advantage of the digital age will need professional skills, resources, information and contacts. These are what Media Trust provides."
Jon Snow, Deputy Chairman
