It would be a good time to start as part of all the voices talking about a portion of the license fee being part of this, the government has already said there is to be some boat rocking done as part of the 2012/13 BBC license settlement and it plays very well to the big society image that is being promoted at the moment

I think there are two elements to this Julian;
- we should work together to support those who have less experience in completing funding applications in producing an application that truly reflects the quality of the work of their organisation (I'm happy to assist where I can - perhaps we can create a guide on the CMA website or Toolkit?)
- and we should have a large enough fund that allows though who have been successful in previous round with 'good' applications to be funded again (otherwise, eventually, the only ones which will be being considered will be the ones who haven't had funding before - either new stations or the ones who have previously submitted poor applications).
All the best
Murray

The reported comment made by Richard Hilton at the CMA conference "The quality of applications had been surprisingly poor" does not bode well for the future of the fund.
Why would anyone keep a fund going when it's a struggle to find projects that are good enough to fund?
The campaign to keep the fund will need to address this, perhaps explaining why recent applications have been poor and drawing attention to the quality and outcomes of previous grants.

Dear all
Many of you will have received this from HM Government today regarding the Allthevoices campaign. We have checked with DCMS and this is the current position of the new government.
However, a major caveat though - the new government cannot confirm that this would be their position following the Comprehensive Spending Review in the autumn, so not quite time to jump for any joy. The CMA Council is meeting on 31st July and will be devising a major campaign to feed into the CSR to try to ensure that the Community Radio Fund is both maintained and expanded and we will need your help in that. Let us know if you have particular ideas on the best approach for the campaign.
Thanks
Jaqui
