A University of Gloucestershire graduate has been appointed as an ambassador for a national BBC scheme aimed at improving the wellbeing, confidence and storytelling skills of young people across the UK.

Jack Shute, who graduated with a degree in Journalism from the University’s School of Creative Industries and is now a BBC Radio Gloucestershire presenter, will visit secondary schools across Gloucestershire for the BBC100 Share Your Story scheme.
