About Us
We are the only charity providing dynamic and immersive
media literacy training for young people aged 11-23 from low-income backgrounds across the UK; increasing young people’s life and employability skills, resilience & confidence, and improving access to - and diversity in -
creative careers.
voice matters.
What we do
- We now work with thousands of young people to:
- give them tools to pre-bunk, identify, challenge and report misinformation and disinformation
- give them opportunities and skills to tell stories that matter to them – and ensure they are heard by mainstream media and policymakers
- build a more diverse media by creating career pathways for young people from underrepresented groups in the industry
We do this by working with best-in-class content creators and news professionals, partnering with innovative tech and data companies, and going to the places young people already are to engage with them where they want to succeed.

Our Impact
Since September 2016
We’ve made impressive progress since we started
Tony Gallagher, Deputy Editor, The Times
“I’m passionate about media literacy and I cannot speak highly enough about The Student View. They do a brilliant job of teaching students about the perils of fake news and how to sift fact from fiction in an increasingly partisan age – a task that is vital today. Their enthusiasm is infectious. I can’t wait to work with them again.”
Head of English at Woodcote High School, Harriet Cox
“The students were thrilled – said it was so fun to delve into a career based session rather than “just English”. I love showing them where English and general interest in the world and events can take you. This was perfect for that.”
The Future

Our Supporters
Our work to create local news content in some of the UK’s most underserved areas would not be possible without the help of our generous supporters.
Thank you to our current partners!

Our programme is run by a small team of staff and several dedicated volunteers who provide their time to help teach, edit, and coordinate activities with the schools. We rely on grants and donations to provide our services to an increasing number of schools.
We work with a variety of corporate, educational and media organisations. We would love to hear from you if you’re doing something you think we could get involved with, or if you’d like to work with us in some way.
