PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING TRUST

PSBT delivers public service across the UK through Fixers which engages vulnerable and marginalised young people in using their past experiences to change the future for themselves and others in their communities. We use mass media platforms to extend the reach and value of their work, tackling disadvantage for the benefit of society, building evidence to support change in policy and practice.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

The young people work with home-based co-ordinators and then liaise with creative staff primarily to make videos but they can also appear on TV programmes, meet their local MP, run poster campaigns, and so on. PSBT lets young people talk about whatever they want and lead on how their voice is heard.
