Delivering our creative remit: A BBC for All
The BBC has long upheld a distinctive mission: to inform, educate, and entertain everyone. This mission, enshrined in the Royal Charter alongside the BBC’s five public purposes, remains the foundation of everything we do at the BBC.
The following pages set out how we have fulfilled our mission and purposes by delivering on our creative remit over the past year.
Our 5 Public Purposes
- To provide impartial news and information to help people understand and engage with the world around them
- To support learning for people of all ages
- To show the most creative, highest quality and distinctive output and services
- To reflect, represent and serve the diverse communities of all of the United Kingdom’s nations and regions and, in doing so, support the creative economy across the United Kingdom
- To reflect the United Kingdom, its culture and values to the world
As the world changes, the role the BBC plays for the UK is changing too. We want to offer outstanding value to all audiences in the years ahead whilst supporting the UK’s democracy, creative economy and society. That’s why, aligned with our five public purposes, the BBC is focused on three roles that are essential in today’s world.
Pursue truth with no agenda.
Independent, fearless and fair.
Back homegrown storytelling.
UK talent and creativity worldwide.
Bring people together.
Connections not division.
