SQL Select question:  Find character in a string

given a cell in column TOPIC, how do I write a select where the X position of a character in a cell results in a 1?  The cell is in nvarchar and always contains a string of 1's and zeroes

For example, consider a row of data:
TOPIC:  10110000110011101
TITLE:   MyTitle
NAME:  MyName

Select NAME from DBO.Workshops where Title = 'MyTitle' AND <the 4th character of TOPIC = '1'>

How do I write the part
'the 4th character of TOPIC = '1'
