About Media Trust Films
Media Trust Films bridges the gap between charities and filmmakers, creating powerful films that amplify the impact of grassroots organisations by leveraging the expertise of our talented directors, many with lived experience of the causes they’re supporting.
We carefully match charities with experienced volunteer filmmakers who produce and direct short films about their designated charity’s work and impact. Media Trust oversees the production, guiding and supporting the charities and filmmakers as needed.
We also provide training for charities on the filmmaking process and distribution strategies for their finished film, as well as training for filmmakers on intersectional story-telling and working with people with lived experience.
Many of our films have been recognised for their creativity and high production values at the Creative Circle Awards, Smiley Charity Film Awards, Big Syn Sustainability Film Awards and Third Sector Awards.
This year, Media Trust Films made over 40 short films for charities supported by City Bridge Foundation, Crucible Foundation, John Lyons Charity, The Mercers' Company and Santander Foundation.
For charities that are not supported by one of the funders that we work with, we also make Commissioned Films for charities who have budget to make a film.

Job Purpose
In our fight for a fairer, greener future, Good Law Project has previously embarked on a series of legal interventions focused on the activities of 55 Tufton Street. From undisclosed donors and misinformation to astroturfing and lobbying, we intend to continue our work debasing the Tufton Street lobby groups and think tanks like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Restore Trust and Institute for Economic Affairs.
We are therefore commissioning further investigation of “Dark Money” that flows through Tufton Street in the guise of charitable funds. The Charity Commission exists to prevent this abuse, and that will be a key focus of this work. We are offering a one-year, fixed term contract to an experienced investigative journalist, to supply Good Law Project with a pipeline of exposés that will win commissions from the UK’s leading news outlets, including broadcast where possible, thereby contributing to the exposure of the Tufton Street axis, and helping to clean up our politics.
What we're looking for
- Track record of powerful investigative journalism, successfully pitching and bringing newsworthy stories of illicit activity conducted by harmful organisations or individuals to public attention
- Experience of reporting and managing risk (whilst still having appetite for substantial risk)
- Demonstrable experience of self-managing, remote working, reporting on a regular basis to the commissioning client
- Experience of working with open source data and proprietary databases
- Demonstrable experience of working with different departments across an organisation
- Great strategic nous – knowing when to push and when to find another route
- Digital journalist – instinct and experience for publishing across text, video, social media
What we do
- Good Law Project is a not-for-profit campaign organisation which uses the law to hold power to account and fight for a fairer, greener future. We take on the cases and campaigns where we’ll have the biggest impact, even when the odds are stacked against us.
- We had a primary role in overturning the prorogation of Parliament in 2019. We successfully challenged the Government’s operation of a fast track ‘VIP lane’ for awarding lucrative PPE contracts to those with political connections and our campaigning played a key role in the Met Police opening an investigation into Boris Johnson over the Partygate scandal. In July 2023, we forced the Government to accept that its flagship Net Zero strategy is unlawful and to develop a better plan.
- We get a positive outcome in more than two thirds of our cases – either a straightforward or a partial legal win. But whether we win or lose in court, we always fight to make positive change.
- See our website for more about what we do

WFN is governed by a committed trustee board. Our team is dynamic, passionate about our mission and ambitious.
