Images of Newham Voices covers from past issues

For more than four years Newham Voices has been telling stories for the people of Newham. Now we need your help to continue the work we have started. 

As the Publisher and Editor in Chief it has been an absolute privilege to lead our terrific team of volunteers, who are dedicated to the residents and workers of this great Borough. 

Each month we have highlighted the richness of Newham – dramatic, inspiring and uplifting – by giving voice to local people and their stories. 

We are an independent, not for profit community enterprise. We are not politically aligned or trying to make a profit out of the hardships that people face. 

Since our launch we have carried important interviews and reports on major issues – policing, homelessness, health issues, poverty and education while holding the council and other powerful institutions to account. 

Our mix of culture, events, sport and community, with a focus on the people who work to build bridges and harmony within one of Britain’s most diverse boroughs, has won us many friends. 

But now we need your help. There is no pot of gold that we can turn to every month to pay our bills and there is a limit to what our dozens of volunteers can achieve through goodwill alone. 

We need at least £3000 a month to keep our print edition alive. Our funds are running low and so we are asking for your help. 

Come to the meeting in November – where we will also provide refreshments – and hear why Newham Voices matters more than ever in a community where social and economic challenges are growing every day. 

Newham has lost so much of its local news coverage in recent years. Traditional newspapers have disappeared or become a shadow of their former selves. Every community needs a champion. If not Newham Voices, then who? 

If you can’t make it to the meeting, help us by becoming a supporter. 

With Kind Regards,

No news is bad news 

Independent news outlets like ours – reporting for the community without rich backers – are under threat of closure, turning British towns into news deserts. 

The audiences they serve know less, understand less, and can do less.
