<br>
if you look at examples such as SHMU in Aberdeen, PRESCAP (Preston FM's parent
charity), Future Radio and of course 'our' WFM and ALLFM before they 'left
home' - none of those charities are 'radio' but focus on education, arts and
social inclusion - and happen to use radio as a means to those ends... <br>
<br>
Non charitable activity (after a certain limit) cant be under the remit of the
charity but a trading arm of a charity is a very well used device - if your
non- charitable activities are significant.<br>
<br>
You could look at it the other way round - have the main activity under a CIC
or company limited by guarantee but have a 'Friends of...' charity set
expressly to support/raise funds for the education/arts/social inclusion
activities of the station....<br>
<br>
FYI - when we had a clean slate setting up a station that we werent going to
run - North Manchester FM - we set it up as a CIC. Still not sure if that was
best but at least there was only one cycle of Board meetings...<br>
<br>
It's true that some big Foundations wil only look at funding charities
but more are saying 'charity or CIC'. <br>
<br>
Hope that helps<br>
