**Trustees’ Annual Report: 01 August 2023 - 31 July 2024 The National Student Television Association (1180017)** 

## **Introduction from the Trustee Chair** 

The 2023-24 financial year marked a period of continued development for the National Student Television Association. The aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions continued to have an impact on member stations, but activity within stations grew, and we saw high levels of engagement with events. Our 2024 Awards and Conference were hosted by three of our member stations across Manchester and Salford, who delivered their awards ceremony at the historic IWM North. 

Outside of our main event, our Executive Committee continued to deliver activities throughout the year, including online networking and training events, as well as in person opportunities delivered alongside our industry partners. The period also saw the return of the ‘Student TV Choice Awards’, hosted by Leeds Student Television. 

Internally, the charity continued to develop recruitment to officer roles, attracting an increased number of student volunteers to take an active role supporting student television. Financially, cash flow remains positive and the charity has made progress in building a cash reserve. The Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees are satisfied with the financial stability of the organisation, and continue to seek options to offer further opportunities to student members.
