Change To Law For Interns

[Soph01]

Hi. Someone said to me today that the uk government has changed the law so that all people doing an internship should be paid the NMW. Does that still apply to charities? I am considering doing one with a uk charity to help my career and I wanted to be sure if there have been any changes?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
