**Civil Society Media is offering free access to its products for ten people who
may struggle to access opportunities for career development in the sector, through
a new bursary scheme.**

Successful applicants to the scheme will be able to choose any three items from 
[Civil Society Media](https://www.civilsociety.co.uk/)’s portfolio of events, training,
and publications, with an estimated value of £500.

The deadline for applications is 16 March, and applicants must be of a [protected characteristic](https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-guidance/your-rights-under-equality-act-2010#who)
under the Equality Act and employed by or volunteers as a trustee for a charity.
The nine protected characteristics under the Act are: age, disability, gender reassignment,
marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief,
sex, sexual orientation.

More information, as well as a link to the application form, is available on the
[Civil Society site](https://www.civilsociety.co.uk/news/civil-society-media-launches-bursary-scheme.html).

[Announcing the scheme](https://www.civilsociety.co.uk/news/civil-society-media-launches-bursary-scheme.html)
on the site, Chief Executive Matthew Nolan said that Civil Society Media was offering
the bursaries to help address the issue of under-representation of people with protected
characteristics or those from different backgrounds in the sector, which they believe_“
is partly due to the fact that these people are not always afforded the same training
and development opportunities as their counterparts.”_
