    From our experience there is a lot of funding out there.<br>
    We have a operating budget of around &pound;500,000 this year, but we
    don't any of it because we have a licence from Ofcom or a radio
    station.<br>
    It's because of the outcomes we deliver on; in our case it tends to
    be with marginalised or disadvantaged individuals and/or
    communities.<br>
    <br>
    It seems to me that you need some support to rethink how and what
    you're applying for, as it sounds like you do lots of good work with
    young people for example.<br>
    Does your local Council or Council for Voluntary Organisation have a
    Fund-raising Officer? Sometimes they can help.<br>

                    I was replying from my phone in frustration at
                    reading that the best way forward was to give
                    everyone the same - as been said
                    a number of times on the list, it's a bad idea.<br>
                    <br>
                    Here's a suggestion to everyone who likes the idea
                    of sharing out the whole
                    fund and making good use of the &pound;2,000 they
                    receive.&nbsp; Spend around the
                    2hrs or so that it takes to complete an Awards for
                    All Lottery application, and
                    if your project is sound, you're very likely to
                    receive &pound;10,000 - five years
                    worth of evenly shared out Community Radio Fund
                    awards.<br>
                    <br>
                    The key to all of this is outcomes - if you are
                    delivering 'Social Gain', you
                    are ticking 'outcome' boxes for most of the major
                    funders.&nbsp; That's where
                    the real, and sustainable money is (i.e. 3-5 year
                    funding arrangements).<br>

                                    Whilst I appreciate Trevor's
                                    desperation to get things done,
                                    sharing a paltry sum
                                    equally is no solution.<br>
                                    The only sensible way to allocate a
                                    given sum is as at present - by
                                    application
                                    stressing need.<br>
                                    But - as he says - we do need&nbsp;vastly
                                    more funding in addition to that
                                    which is available if you look - and
                                    fight - really hard.<br>
                                    All the CR stations we deal with
                                    need to enhance their transmission
                                    systems to
                                    capture more listeners and thereby
                                    attract more funding.<br>
                                    That&nbsp;would require a lot of money
                                    but it also needs Ofcom to clear
                                    every
                                    single new transmission application.<br>
                                    Ofcom has said it cannot even
                                    consider any such applications at
                                    present because
                                    it has over 200 new potential
                                    stations to process and
                                    new&nbsp;broadcasters
                                    &nbsp;have precedence over existing
                                    licencees.<br>
                                    That's another very real need that
                                    CMA needs to address please.<br>

                                    &nbsp;<br>
                                    Weekend Digest<br>
                                    <br>
                                    It's been a busy week, and I have
                                    some comments to make. I must stress
                                    they are
                                    my personal opinions, and do not
                                    reflect the views of the Council, of
                                    which I
                                    am an elected member.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    This week Nick said that he believed
                                    the Community Radio Fund money
                                    should be
                                    shared equally. Whilst it remains at
                                    under &pound;500K that gives each licensed
                                    station about &pound;2k. At my station it
                                    means that our 100 volunteers can
                                    expect a
                                    cup of coffee occasionally. In any
                                    case we give &pound;850 to OfCom just to
                                    hold a
                                    licence so the nett cost, after 20%
                                    VAT, will be marginal.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    Importantly it means we can tell all
                                    our listeners (is that an estimated
                                    13
                                    million) that we only receive &pound;2K. I
                                    think the BBC's 44 stations spent
                                    over
                                    &pound;600 million last year. So who gives
                                    value for money? We should<br>
                                    tell our listeners how we are
                                    treated.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    If everyone gets the same money
                                    there will be no need for a
                                    committee to decide
                                    (I wonder what that costs in coffee
                                    and biscuits?). It will certainly
                                    save
                                    OfCom money.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    That anyone should judge whether a
                                    licensed station is more worthy than
                                    another
                                    is not a valid argument. OfCom
                                    issued the licence - so we are all
                                    worthy until
                                    exposed as charlatans.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    Such a paltry sum can be turned into
                                    a lever to make the government
                                    recognise
                                    our value. We can provide services
                                    they require - all they have to do
                                    is
                                    recognise our existence.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    This raises a much wider problem. We
                                    are all scrabbling around to find
                                    funders.
                                    Many stations employ full-time
                                    fundraisers, when it would be more
                                    productive to
                                    recognise the value of community
                                    media, and to allow us to take over
                                    some of
                                    the functions of local BBC, and to
                                    relax the restrictive practices that
                                    discourage entrepreneurship within
                                    our sector.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    CMA should<br>
                                    consider employing outside
                                    expertise, and carefully chosen some
                                    of those could
                                    also provide funding. Advertising
                                    agencies, IT and equipment
                                    suppliers, joint
                                    licensing and many other options
                                    could be considered.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    We have the opportunity to create a
                                    real sense of national pride, to
                                    build
                                    local communities, to train and
                                    support local talent. We just need
                                    to be given
                                    a modicum of support.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    Such financing can arise through
                                    providing services. One significant
                                    example is
                                    that we should be the first
                                    suppliers to the Central Office of
                                    Information. We
                                    know we can provide services at a
                                    competitive price and we have a
                                    deeper reach
                                    into society than any other media. <br>
                                    <br>
                                    I believe we should use the BSkyB
                                    decision to further our aims and
                                    aspirations.
                                    A significant portion of the media
                                    is now in the hands of one
                                    Australian and
                                    his son. That helps my sense of
                                    national pride, but importantly
                                    offers us all
                                    an opportunity. We can provide local
                                    news, and we<br>
                                    can supply real information about
                                    the mood of our people. Increasingly
                                    other
                                    media are separated from the people.
                                    Commercial radio agglomerates,
                                    newspapers and
                                    satellite stations are monopolistic.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    We are the only media in touch with
                                    real people.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    I'll repeat these are my opinions -
                                    not those of the Council.<br>
