Thirdly, help the local community to know what services are available to them in their local area;

Fourthly, support our small businesses with affordable advertising and opportunities to reach the community; and

Finally, to develop fundraising initiatives that everyone can use for their own organisations.

How can you get involved.

How we make money?

Through advertising and sponsorship.  We cannot do this without support from our sponsors and those who take up paid advertising positions throughout the online paper.  Whilst a lot of sections are Free e.g. Not-For-Profit Section, Sports Section, and so on, we still need to cover our costs.  We hope by giving a lot of Free advertising to those organisations and groups who can least afford it, that other businesses e.g. Real Estate, Law Firms, Accounting Firms, the Local Council, will get behind this initiative and support us in return.
