I think there are two elements to this Julian;<br>
<br>
- 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?)<br>
<br>
- 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).<br>
<br>
All the best<br>

<div>Why would anyone keep a fund going when it's a struggle to find

</div>
<div>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.

<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
