I am supporting the Andy Taylor Foundation, a charity that created the Bursary Scheme in collaboration with Royal Television Society - a programme designed to open doors, break down barriers and help passionate talent thrive in the media industry.
Andy was a great personal friend and a real inspiration. Having been his flat mate, golf tour buddy, London-to-Paris cycling companion and drunk in his company on more occasions than I can possibly remember, I can honestly say he left an indelible mark on my life, and my life has been all the better because of it.
Thanks to Andy's legacy and Lara's hard work, the Foundation has already helped give several talented individuals from underprivileged backgrounds invaluable industry experiences and that first break into the world of media and I believe Andy would be very proud of the bursary scheme that the Foundation is now offering in conjunction with the RTS.
My training has been patchy at best but I'm determined to complete the course.
Please help me raise as close to my target as possible to support such a worthy cause and change lives. Dig as deep as you can because every pound you give will be matched.
