The Grierson Trust is committed to providing educational and mentoring opportunities to aspiring filmmakers. It has commissioned short films from the runners up in the Newcomers Award category and in 2009, through its mentoring scheme, helped four young people make their first film.

2009 Scheme
The Grierson Mentoring Scheme was aimed at young people who are interested and inspired by documentaries but who would never normally get a look-in on our somewhat enclosed and rarefied world. The explicit aim of the scheme was to locate young people from outside the usual recruiting ground of film school, but instead through youth clubs and BTec courses, and then pair them up with some of the best and most experienced documentary makers in the country to make a short film.
