| Description | Grant file containing correspondence, minutes, agendas, grant overviews, accounts, reports, project proposals and funding requests relating to the Community Radio Training Project (CRTP). Funding source(s): Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust. Applicant overview: The CRTP was launched in 1986 by a series of community organisations led by the Afro-Caribbean Resource Centre Ltd. (ACRC) and Peoples Community Radio Line (PCRL). The project aims to 1) offer the provisions required in order to gain education in the field of media and radio broadcasting, 2) operate to the highest possible media standards, so as to gain credibility within the broadcasting institutions that exist, 3) offer access to the world of broadcasting and radio production to individuals who would otherwise never be given the change to gain this type of experience by the existing bodies, 4) assist in improving the broadcasting standards of the presenters on PCRL by allowing them to have access to equipment and facilities not normally available to them, 5) involve groups and individuals with a message to look into using the media in a more effective way to their benefit, 6) provide much needed black media training initiatives in the Birmingham area, and 7) provide a relevant and practical media training programme seeking assistance from those involved in existing media organisations either from the PCRL or the BBC. Nature of support: In 1994 the Trust agreed to make a single grant of £20,000 for use either in setting up a community radio station or in the continued provision of training in radio broadcasting. Minutes: B&GSCT 7732. Notes: File organised from newest to oldest. File numbered 'C/5'. |
