Chair Secretary Treasurer **3** ## **Objectives and activities** The charity has been established with a vision of creating a vibrant, inclusive, and connected community through local media. Our two primary charitable purposes work in harmony to achieve this vision: 1. The advancement of citizenship or community development Our primary vehicle for achieving this objective is the development and operation of a community-focused internet radio station and accompanying website. These platforms are designed to: - Create a dynamic space where community voices can be heard and local stories can be shared. - Foster dialogue between different segments of the community. - Provide training and development opportunities in media production and broadcasting. - Enable community members to actively participate in creating and sharing local content. - Strengthen community bonds by highlighting local issues, events, and achievements. - Serve as a hub for community information and engagement. - Support local democracy by providing a platform for community discussions and debates. 2. The advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science This objective is pursued through targeted programming and content creation that: - Showcases local artistic talent and cultural initiatives. - Documents and preserves local heritage through oral histories and community storytelling. - Raises awareness about climate change impacts on our coastal community. - Provides dedicated programming slots for underrepresented voices, including: **4** - LGBTQ+ community members sharing their experiences and perspectives. - Disability groups discussing accessibility and inclusion. - Youth-led programming addressing issues important to young people. - Creates partnerships with local cultural organisations and artists. - Promotes scientific literacy through engaging content about environmental issues. - Celebrates the diverse cultural heritage of our community members. Our Vision In pursuing these objectives, we recognise the unique position of Portobello as a coastal community with a rich heritage and diverse population. Our planned activities are designed to: - Build social capital within the community. - Break down barriers between different community groups. - Create opportunities for intergenerational dialogue. - Support community resilience through improved communication and connection. - Provide skills development opportunities in media production. - Document and celebrate our community's ongoing story. The trustees have kept these charitable objectives in mind while laying the groundwork for future operations, ensuring that all planning and development activities align with our core mission of serving and strengthening the community through accessible media. **5** ## **Structure, governance and management** Constitution The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (a SCIO). It was registered on 12[th] March 2024. It has a two-tier structure: its Members, and its Board (who act as Trustees). Trustee recruitment and appointment Trustees are elected by the members at the AGM. Members of the Charity, or an appointed representative of a corporate body which is a Member, are eligible for election. The Board may also appoint Members as Trustees. There must be a minimum of three and a maximum of five Trustees. The Trustees during the period covered by this report are the initial charity trustees. **6** ## **Achievements and performance** This initial period represents the charity's establishment phase. Key achievements include: - Successfully completing the registration process as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). - Establishing a bank account to enable financial operations. - Conducting research into Internet radio station streaming options, including limited private trials of software solutions and receiving donations of second-hand computer equipment. - Initiating planning meetings with potential community partners who will increase our knowledge and skills. - Submitting our first grant application which, while unsuccessful, provided valuable feedback for future funding attempts and, more generally, how to grow the Charity. **7** ## **Financial review** Statement of the charity’s policy on reserves The Trustee’s policy is to retain 12 months’ worth of normal running costs in order to meet commitments and to cover any unexpected expenditure. As the Charity has not incurred any expenditure yet, the Trustee’s believe the current reserves – of £96 – are sufficient. The Trustee’s will continue to monitor the position. **8** ## **Future plans** The trustees intend to: - Develop revised funding applications incorporating feedback from initial grant submissions. - Research and pursue diverse funding streams including: - Community-focused grant makers. - Local authority funding opportunities. - Corporate sponsorship possibilities. - Community fundraising initiatives. - Complete evaluation of internet radio streaming platforms to identify the most suitable solution. - Design and develop an accessible, user-friendly website. - Create mechanisms for ongoing community feedback and participation. - Continue developing partnerships within the community. The trustees recognise that these plans are ambitious and will require significant resource development. We are committed to a phased approach that ensures sustainable growth while maintaining focus on our core charitable objectives. Progress will be regularly reviewed and plans adjusted based on available resources and community needs. **9** ## **Declaration** Signed on behalf of the charity trustees: Designation Date Chair 10/01/2025 **10** Enter SC No. below APPENDIX 2 Enter charity name below **SC053184** ## **Portobello Community Media SCIO** ||||**Receipts and**|**Receipts and**|**Receipts and**|**Receipts and**|**Receipts and**|**Receipts and**|**ts andpayments accounts**|**ts andpayments accounts**|**ts andpayments accounts**|**ts andpayments accounts**|**ts andpayments accounts**|**ts andpayments accounts**|**ts andpayments accounts**|**ts andpayments accounts**|**ts andpayments accounts**||||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||||||Period start date|||||||||Period end date||Period end date||||||||| |||**For the period**

consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations

Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks
explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken
do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do
not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.| |**Independent examiner’s**
