We are committed to championing and enacting inclusivity and diversity in the creative sector and aim to reflect this in all our shows - on and off screen.

We provide training and development for new entrants to the TV industry. In addition to offering work experience, we also participate in several schemes to encourage under-represented groups to join our industry including, but not limited to:

Strive

The programme is designed to provide BAME students living or studying in Bristol with a paid, cross-sector four-week internship. We joined the pilot scheme in 2021 and will continue to support the scheme this year.
