sure, peanuts when set against the needs and value of the sector but its survival

consider applications for the second round of grant awards for<br>
2010/11.<br>
<br>
In summary:<br>
<br>
- The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) allocated<br>
£463,000 towards the Community Radio Fund for 2010/11<br>
- In the first round of funding in June 2010, the Panel made grants<br>
totalling £208,634,leaving £254,366 for the second round<br>
- A further £2,500 was returned to the fund from a previous grant recipient<br>
- 64 applications were considered<br>
- Funding applications totalled £1,196,138.46<br>
- 15 applicants were awarded grants which totalled £256,866<br>
- 49 applicants were not awarded a grant<br>
<br>
The average grant in this round was £17,124; the average grant for<br>
individual station awards, that is excluding the grants benefiting<br>
more than one station, was £14,833. A table setting out the awards may<br>
be found here:<br>

target="_blank">http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/radio/community-radio-fund/grants-2010-11-2</a><br>
<br>
The Panel notes that two grants, for £30,769 and £30,768 respectively,<br>
were for substantially higher amounts than the average and were<br>
awarded to bids designed to benefit more than one station. The Panel<br>
wishes to record that the first of these grants was for a joint<br>
application that will fund a Project Manager and other support for a<br>
pilot data collection and analysis project. The project aims to<br>
develop an affordable way for <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>
community radio stations to assess<br>
their audiences and community impacts and provide data for grant<br>
funders, service delivery clients and others. The aim is for a project<br>
that will benefit all community radio stations in the future. The<br>
second of these grants was for a Regional Account Manager /Commercial<br>
Fund Raiser post benefiting three individual community radio stations<br>
in south west <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region>.<br>
