There has been much discussion in the media about unpiad interns in the private sector, but only recently has there been any coverage of interns in the voluntary sector - Unsion & Interns aware recently published this report of the issue:

It would be interested to hear the experiences organisations have of interns - are there any BME organisations who have taken on interns before?
