During the financial year, KLAT MAG CIC worked to celebrate, document and support emerging creatives, entrepreneurs and cultural leaders across Wales through storytelling, creative development and community engagement. Throughout the year, the company produced editorial features, photography, video content and interviews that showcased the work of creatives across a range of disciplines, helping to increase their visibility and connect them with wider audiences. KLAT also documented cultural events across Wales and created platforms that encouraged collaboration, promoted creative talent and celebrated the diversity of the Welsh creative sector. During the year, KLAT secured public funding to expand its community impact, including support from Arts Council of Wales for the KLAT DJ Takeover mentorship programme, designed to support emerging DJs from underrepresented communities through skills development, mentoring and industry opportunities. The organisation also secured National Lottery Community Fund support for the AMPLIFY: Young Voices Wales programme, which provides young people with opportunities to develop podcasting, digital storytelling and media production skills. KLAT continued to build partnerships with cultural organisations, businesses and educational institutions across Wales, strengthening opportunities for collaboration and supporting the development of a more inclusive creative sector. Through its activities, the company benefited the community by increasing representation, creating opportunities for emerging talent, encouraging community participation in the arts and helping creatives develop their skills, confidence and professional networks.

The company's key stakeholders during the financial year included emerging creatives, artists, entrepreneurs, community organisations, collaborators, audience members, volunteers, educational institutions and funding partners. Stakeholder consultation took place through one-to-one meetings, community events, networking sessions, social media engagement, feedback from creative projects, and ongoing discussions with collaborators, participants and partner organisations. Feedback consistently highlighted the need for greater visibility for emerging creatives, more opportunities to build professional networks, increased access to creative development and first-hand industry experience. In response, the company continued to expand its storytelling activities, strengthened partnerships with organisations across Wales, and developed new initiatives, including the KLAT Awards, to recognise and celebrate creative talent. The company also created opportunities for young people to gain first-hand insight into the creative industries by connecting them with major cultural events and organisations, including BAFTA Cymru, the Black Welsh Music Awards and other industry partners, enabling them to work alongside professionals and build valuable industry experience. This feedback has continued to shape the organisation's activities and future programme development.
