25 Bursars for 25 mentee spots in West Yorkshire - can you help?

Whether you enjoy creating art, writing, organising or performing, you should have the chance to make your mark. We’ll connect you with an industry mentor to support you for a whole year. Then we'll provide you with opportunities until your 26th birthday, so you can break into the field you’re passionate about.
