Could your organisation benefit from hosting a Robertson Scholar?
We are once again keen to hear from organisations who may be interested in hosting a Robertson Scholar for our Summer Internship Scheme in 2021. The scheme was established in 2014 to help our current 3rd year Robertson Scholars to enhance their C.V and gain valuable experience in the workplace before entering their final year of university. All posts are fully funded by TRT based on the Real Living Wage.
Our strategy
Our new strategy for 2020-2030 sharpens our focus on helping to improve the lives of people and communities with experience of poverty, trauma or both.

Our focus is on improving the lives of people and communities experiencing poverty and trauma. We'll be building on and applying our understanding of particular areas in the course of our strategy.
