## Viewpoint Community Media
Registered Charity 1153153
## **Trustees Annual Report April 2022 – April 2023**
The Charity was formed on the 22[nd] July 2013 and this was its 9th year of operation.
The current Trustees are:
1. Rupert Kirkham
2. Hannah Parry
3. Roger Ogle
4. Martin Parry
5. Paul Jellings
Hannah Parry served as Chair during this year.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic the Trustees communicated by electronic most of the year, to monitor the operation of the **Swindon Viewpoint** service and advance the aims of Community Media locally.
Our ability to sustain our remit has continued to be curtailed by the pandemic. Our work with community groups and individuals, on issues of importance to them, primarily involves meetings and social contact, which were either not possible or seen as risky by potential participants as well as ourselves. Many groups have not returned to indoor meetings and are meeting online.
Our activity therefore has necessarily focussed more on social media. Without much new programming we have taken the opportunity to redistribute strong programming from some years back. This has proven very popular, and helps maintain an interest in the service as well as the wider community and its social and cultural life.
We were able to cover a minimal number of events which were based outdoors.
A number of archive films were restored, digitised and again made available to the public, these included historic footage of the development of the town.
We did not however again succeed in raising sufficient funding to cover the demands of co-ordination staff, resources and support for external film-maker/trainers and therefore were not able to embark on desired initiatives in this area.
Our main source of funding over the past few years has been from DVD sales of the Films ' **Railway Town** ' and ' **Fire and Stee** l' and income from this source has been substantial, but is now very much reduced (as more and more interested people have already purchased them, and fewer people these days use DVD). To achieve best results we need to emphasise further funding initiatives.
One thing that remains particularly crucial is to raise the funding to rebuild our website www.swindonviewpoint.com. This is now more than sixeeen years old, built on an obsolete platform (Drupal) and no longer functions correctly (when it does at all). We are primarily distributing via other platforms at present (Vimeo, Facebook,).
