"My year as an intern at P&P was a hugely important part of my development as a campaigner. I arrived with passion and commitment, but with campaigning experience largely limited to small, and often non-strategic student campaigning groups. I left with a whole range of skills in the areas of project management, training and facilitation, campaign planning."

David Babbs, ex-intern, formerly Head of Capacity Building, Friends of the Earth, now Director of 38 degrees
