About the BBC
The purpose of the BBC is to enrich people's lives with great programmes and services that inform, educate and entertain. Our vision is to be the most creative, trusted organisation in the world.
Everyone has a unique relationship with the BBC and our audience wants us to provide them with moments of delight, inspiration, excitement and entertainment.They also expect us to be factual, honest and act with integrity. Our aspiration is not only to create exceptional content and services but to offer everyone an experience of the BBC that truly makes a difference to their lives.
The BBC is constitutionally established by a ten-year Royal Charter with an accompanying agreement which sets out our obligations to licence fee payers in detail. After an extensive period of consultation and negotiation our Charter was renewed this year. Our aim is to evolve into a BBC that can provide the greatest programmes and services for our audience in the digital age and deliver the maximum amount of value for their licence fee.
