Company activities and impact

FMB CIC (trading as FMB Radio or FMB) is a social enterprise, registered as company limited by guarantee without share capital, a Community Interest Company (CIC), incorporated in England and Wales on 18 April 2019. The core purpose is digital media recording, publishing, reproduction, and dissemination mainly in the form of community conversations, online radio broadcasting podcasts and virtual audio and video contents. We exist to address the gaps in digital media and authentic voices for the underrepresented communities. We completed existing local and regional media services. Our mission is to build on Nottingham’s history of culture, creativity, innovation and a UNESCO City of Literature in establishing a sustainable safe space for minority communities to air their voices, and ideas through audio, video and digital contents thereby amplifying their authentic voices and challenging existing policies and perspectives in a constructive manner. We offered individuals and organisations an opportunity to share their stories, experiences, and views through FMB online radio. We worked with local communities, especially those from New and Emerging communities in creating programs, with a unique and powerful mix of reporting, personal and organisational stories, experiences. views, and perceptions. This was in the form of audio products on the radio (live and recorded), stories, questions and answers, and interviews which captured and broadcasted authentic voices. We offered an extensive variety of music, especially when no programs were being broadcasted or through music programmes and discussion broadcasts. The Radio and website show cased talent and shared authentic voices thereby creating a sense of social identity and pride among our target communities. It also acted as a two-way conduit for the exchange of information and ideas among the targeted communities. Our work was focused on dynamic and productive partnerships and collaborative working with local groups, thereby enabling them to meet their social objectives. Working jointly with other partners, we offered some accredited and unaccredited courses such as radio broadcasting, radio presentation, community journalism, confidence building, solution journalism, podcasting, community conversation leadership, and digital storytelling, among others. These courses were a i m e d a t enabling learners to engage better with F M B products and services while also gaining skills, qualifications, and confidence to become active members of their communities

Consultation with stakeholders

FMB Radio's stakeholders are all members of the local community i.e. those who live, work, are being educated or trained in the Nottingham area, or who share their interests. Our ethos has always been to attract the participation and involvement of everyone locally. We work almost entirely on a consensus basis while encouraging people to take responsibility and initiate their own ideas. This approach to community engagement is underpinned by our formal structures and working approach. We also held more informal community meetings which were a chance for ideas to be shared
