Media Trust Charity Press Programme with PA Media Group

Got a newsworthy story but struggling with limited PR capacity and budget? Media Trust has partnered with PA Media Group, the UK’s national news agency, to help small charities refine and distribute their press releases.

If selected, you’ll receive expert feedback from media professionals to strengthen your story, followed by free distribution through PA Media Group’s press release service giving journalists across the UK the opportunity to discover your story.

The Fraud Test: Would you approve this contractor?

Every day, hiring organisations rely on contractor assessments and prequalification audits to verify that contractors meet the standards required to work on site safely and compliantly. That process depends on documents such as insurance certificates, risk assessments, training records and competency evidence. But what happens when those documents aren't what they appear to be.

If a fraudulent document entered your supply chain tomorrow, would your organisation spot it?
