The SNAP Committee met on 17 February to review awards progress, recruitment updates, partnerships, and wider industry developments.

Awards 2025

The Steele Yard is confirmed as the venue for 8th July.

Following review of last year’s event layout, the dedicated wellness area will not return in 2025 due to flow and engagement challenges. 

Pre-nominations will open on 27 March, with full category definitions and criteria published at launch.

Recruitment & Governance

Several new voluntary committee roles were introduced to strengthen SNAP’s structure.

Katie Fox has stepped into the Membership & Finance Admin role.

Candidates have been shortlisted for:

• Social Media Manager

• Community Inclusion & Policy Impact Lead

Interviews will take place shortly.

The Partnerships & Member Benefits Lead role remains open 

Strategic Partnerships

SNAP has agreed a six-month collaboration with Yoti. This will include monthly policy-focused content contributions and an educational session for creators later this year.

Industry Developments

The committee discussed reports of debanking and payment disruptions affecting creators, as well as increasing account suspensions across some social platforms.

Members may also wish to be aware of the current parliamentary petition concerning access to banking services for legal businesses:
