ANNUAL GENERAL REPORT FROM 17[TH] July 2022 to 29[th] July 2023

Following the Covid lockdown, there was a reduction of presenters doing live shows, interviews & phone in discussions. However, there has been a marked improvement in more presenters coming to do these various programs. Our Sunday morning phone-in debate is back on air.

The number of our presenters doing live interviews has increased. We now have trained Sajjan, Veena & Jas to do live interviews.

We invited additional Doctors and Dentist to join our health programs on air. We are regularly doing programs on mental health and legal services once a month.

On 11[th] November 2022 and on 19[th] of May 2023, we celebrated Diwali and the Festival of Vaisakhi at the Monsoon Banqueting Hall, Southall. Both parties were attended by over 370 people.

Shabeel

The Shabeel event was held on the 16[th] of June 2023. This occasion is a thanksgiving ceremony to mark the Martyrdom of our King, Guru Arjan Sahib, by serving cold milk shakes and cold drinks to passersby in front of the Panjabi Centre. More than twelve volunteers prepared and served cold drinks, water, ice cream, milk shakes and snacks for the passersby children. Most of the children were coming from their schools on their way home. The event started around 11am and we continued to serve cold drinks until 5pm. The local business and community financially supported this event.

Festival of Teeyan

We commenced the Festival of Teeyan on Saturday 22[nd] July 2023, after a gap of three years due to Covid Lockdown. Over the period of the next three Saturdays, Teeyan will be celebrated at Norwood Hall Playing Fields. The organisation, Siri Guru Singh Sabha, Southall, supported this event by providing tea and snacks.

We have replaced all our music servers with new machines and the music was successfully transferred to the new servers.

The Panjabi Centre reception room has been repainted and the staircase area painted in the studio building. A new carpet has been installed in the broadcast studio. The Panjabi Centre premises have been refreshed and certain building repairs have been carried out. New Desi Radio signage has been replaced on the outside of the building.

We are in the process of training six new presenters this year.

Ofcom has advertised the Multiplex in West London. To apply for this license, City West Digital Ltd, a social enterprise company, has been registered. Paul Boon, Lawrence Galkoff, Ajit Khera and Usha Parmar are the directors of this company. The application was submitted to Ofcom on 27[th] June.

We hope to obtain positive results for this competitive license by the end of this year.

With the help of a few outside volunteers, we have registered Desi Radio YouTube channel and have started editing and posting our past interviews with guests. We have a large collection of the interviews that we carried out live on Desi Radio. Our plan this year is to upload the interviews on YouTube. Our efforts have been intensified to place more content on Desi Radio Facebook and other Social Media platforms.

Our presenter Jas Supra is working with some new technical people to build a Desi Radio App.

Steve Buckley from Community Media Solutions Ltd prepared a report for the Panjabi Centre titled Desi Radio Business Health Check and made recommendations for improving the Governance and technical solutions for strengthening the Charity.

The following members of the Panjabi Center were elected: Cllr Kamaljit Singh Dhindsa, Surjit Singh Malhi, Taranjit Chana and Keran Gill

Anthony Kendall became a director of the Panjabi Centre on 4[th] Oct 2003. He joined our team at a critical time. Following his advice, we were able to remove one of the Directors from the management team and restore harmony and the effective functioning of the Desi Radio management. Throughout the long period of his involvement with Desi Radio, Anthony played a key role in supporting us with matters relating to our management and with Ofcom, the regulator of Desi Radio. Anthony resigned as a director on 28th June 2023. The Panjabi Centre management team recognises the unstinting support, dedication, and the contribution he has made throughout these last twenty years, and we thank him for his guidance, commitment, and belief in promoting the aims and objectives of the Charity. He will be very much missed by us.
