Annual report and accounts
In June 2023, Ryan Chappell commenced as S4C’s new Diversity, Sustainability and Social Purpose Leader. A key aspect of the Leader’s responsibilities is to co-ordinate S4C’s activities as it looks to deliver our 2022–27 diversity, inclusion and equality strategy: Reflecting Wales.
This strategy aims to increase diversity, improve inclusion and ensure representation of Wales’s communities – both through S4C’s content, as well as in our corporate activities.
Highlights during 2023–24 with respect to delivering this ambitious strategy included S4C and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama being nominated for an Arts & Business Wales award in May 2023 for their scheme to sponsor students from less represented backgrounds to study at the College, or attend the performing school run by the College for school-age pupils.
S4C also played a prominent role as one of the main sponsors of Pride Cymru in June 2023, while at the same time providing Pride-related content across all our platforms to mark Pride month.
We are proud of the progress being made as we continue our journey towards delivering the 2022–27 Strategy, and are grateful to the ongoing support of S4C staff, our partners in the production sector, and key stakeholders.
