GTFM (SOUTH WALES) LTD

GTFM is a community radio station licenced by Ofcom. It covers Pontypridd, Aberdare and other parts of RCT County Borough, encouraging community re-generation and volunteering as well as broadcasting information about hundreds of local charitable/public service initiatives annually. It supports itself principally through local fund raising initiatives and by selling advertising and sponsorship.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition
  • This charity is based in an area of extremely high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
