One great resource is Animation UK's Studios Directory, which you can find here. Click on the link and you can start making lists of UK Animation Studios - and then start applying.
Bear in mind that smaller studios will receive far fewer applications than the big famous ones, and hence are much easier to break into. Also consider that smaller studios won't run formal internship programmes, but they might just make one up for you if you ask nicely and have a good demo reel.

UK Animation - Global Number 2
The USA has around 6,000 animation studios, of which around 1,100 have employees (ie not just a sole freelancer working alone) - making it by far the biggest internationally. But the number two spot is taken by the United Kingdom, with over 2,500 studios, of which around 465 have employees. We punch way above our weight in the global animation market, with many jobs and opportunities for this growing industry.

UK Tax Credits
One reason is Government support. Today animation in the UK continues to thrive, supported by a generous tax credit that offers almost 40% of the production budget. To see more about how the UK tax credits work, read this blog post.

Thanks for sharing it but I saw people who are using non genuine, cracked or pirated Office versions may face problems in the future so I searched and bought Microsoft Office 2024 Home and Business from ODosta Store which I think is a Microsoft product reseller.
