The BBC Audience Councils advise the BBC Trust on how well the BBC is delivering its Public Purposes and serving Licence Fee Payers across the United Kingdom. The four Councils, serving Wales, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland, are supported by the Trust to provide an independent assessment of audience expectations and issues.
Hosting meetings across Wales, Audience Council Wales (ACW) hears what matters to the BBC's audiences in Wales and advises the Trust on areas of concern. It has used the evidence gathered at these meetings to inform its submission to the Trust's Service Review of Wales's national radio stations, BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio Wales, and it will continue to press the BBC, through the Trust, to ensure that as many people as possible are able to access these radio stations satisfactorily.
Having taken up this post in November 2010, I am most grateful to my predecessor as BBC National Trustee for Wales, Janet Lewis-Jones, for her hard work during the years of the setting up of the Trust and for her passion for public service broadcasting in Wales. I hope that I can build on those foundations and ensure that the Council's voice - and the voice of audiences in Wales - continues to be heard loud and clear and contribute to the Trust's thinking during the months and years to come.
Elan Closs Stephens
Audience Council Chair and National Trustee
