I think it also depends what you include in the term "community radio" eg the social gain elements...<div><br></div><div>As well as your broadcasting your running community development, community cohesion activities and events, running training for NEETS etc and more then why shouldnt the station be on the same standing as any other charity or charitable / not for profit organisations.. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Its a very slippery slope to even be considering comparing one organisation against another, and why I (as I have said before) not really in favour of everyone gets an equal share, as not all community stations are equal..</div>

NatWest Community Force<br>
<br>
NatWest has made a commitment to help the communities in which it works<br>
through its Customer Charter. The result is Community Force which is<br>
building on the foundations laid by the previous Community Fund.<br>
Financial assistance is available to help those causes and charities<br>
that make a difference in the local community in <u></u>England<u></u>
and <u></u><u></u>Wales<u></u><u></u>.<br>
Applications should be made by registering the project online at the<br>
Community Force website<br>
<br>
<a href="http://communityforce.natwest.com/" target="_blank">http://communityforce.natwest.com/</a><br>
<br>
In September everyone will be able to vote for their favourite projects.<br>
The three projects with the most votes in each Community Force area<br>
will win the awards.<br>
