TV can and does have a real-world impact: for many this is in the form of a career through the hundreds of different disciplines and roles throughout the industry, but also for millions of viewers, through the stories we tell.The TV Foundation’s Impact Unit helps shape the way the TV industry works to make it open to all; a place where new perspectives, ideas and stories thrive.The Impact Unit’s programmes and events are built on 30 years’ experience of providing free-to-access career development opportunities and groundbreaking initiatives at the Edinburgh TV Festival.
