Trustees’ Annual Report: 01 August 2022 - 31 July 2023 The National Student Television Association (1180017)
Introduction from the Trustee Chair
The National Student Television Association has continued to bounce back from COVID, and continues to grow at a positive rate. The admiration and attraction of the television industry continues to flourish among the student population, despite negative trends in the industry. The 2023 awards ceremony in London was a major highlight of the success of our organisation, thanks to Creative Capital who created a stunning, large-scale event, with great industry connections. Students got to interact with possibly the largest number of active industry professionals that NaSTA has ever seen, and to top it off, it was the charity’s 50th anniversary of the awards.
Not only that, but NaSTA continues to expand its operations throughout the calendar year, thanks to the hard work and dedication of its Executive Committee. A number of networking, outreach, and awards events took place across the year, with the added bonus that a wider range of universities from across the UK were hosting them. The University of Leeds hosted a networking event and the Winter Live Show, which was a great success.
The charity’s cash flow continues to remain positive, seeing an admirable increase in funds. The Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees are satisfied with the financial stability of the organisation, and endeavour to increase its reserve funds across the coming year to further bolster its financial stability in these tough times, and to further give back to its members.
Joe Wilmot
Chairman, NaSTA Board of Trustees
Objectives and Activities
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
The objects of the National Student Television Association are to advance education for the public beneft among students studying at universities in Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Eire, as well as the British Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies, Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands in particular by supporting students who are involved in the operation of student television stations by offering vocational and practical training and skills. |

The Charity’s ‘Awards & Conference’ events in this reporting period (London, 2023) have continued to directly impact the Charity’s objective of “offering vocational and practical training and skills development support in the arts and media”, in particular through the conference element of these events, which for the frst time also included a hall dedicated to stalls hosted by industry professionals. Presentations and activities offered by industry professionals have given the Charity’s membership the opportunity to both develop new skills, and learn more about the opportunities available in what is a complex and fast-changing industry. These events have also continued to fulfl the Charity’s objective of “supporting student television stations” both by recognising their achievements with the largest number of awards in recent history, and offering invaluable opportunities to network with and learn from fellow stations from around the UK, Ireland, and Crown Dependencies. The Charity has continued to support stations with their technical skills, as well as in raising the profle of Student Television country-wide, fghting for their interests, and showcasing to the industry that Student Television remains alive and well with enhanced communication with the sector. The charity has also pushed to increase its membership to allow it to represent, and offer skills and support to, as many of those stations within its remit as |
| possible. | |

| Achievements and Performance | |
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole. |
The Charity has continued to expand its operations this year by hosting a Networking Event and Winter Live Show (both of which were hosted in Leeds, latter being specifcally led by LSTV). The networking event hosted by the Executive Committee united students of Northern Student TV stations with local industry professionals and gave insight into the opportunities that could be found in the TV industry in the North. The Winter Live show brought together a number of Student TV Stations to create a collaborative show, led by LSTV, with the support of the executive committee. This allowed smaller stations, who don’t have access to vast resources, the opportunity to work on a live show using different equipment. Through these events we have connected our members with one another, as well as with industry professionals to help foster growth and experience across our community. This year, the Charity has continued to take an active role in sharing and promoting industry employment opportunities to the membership - providing both a beneft to members and to employers in the industry who can leverage the Charity’s talent pool. |
