Newham Voices is an independent not-for-profit community newspaper written for local people by local people.

We publish monthly in print and more regularly online, offering a platform for local people and organisations to share their news, views and concerns.

Our commitment to quality information is based on core values of accuracy, fairness, independence, humanity and accountability. We aim to bring neighbourhoods together and help strengthen democracy across the borough, celebrating Newham’s successes while holding public authorities to account.

Newham Voices is made available to pick up for free at various locations around the borough. It is funded by advertisers and supporters; all income is spent on the continuing production of the paper. If you would like to help us you can find out more about becoming a supporter or you can consider purchasing an advertisement for your organisation. You are also welcome to write for us about projects you are involved with, campaigns you are running, or events you are organising.

The paper is published by Social Spider Community News, which also produces Waltham Forest Echo, Barking and Dagenham Star, Haringey Community Press, Enfield Dispatch and Barnet Post.

Our commitment to strong citizen journalism is backed up with a free training programme available to anyone who wants to write for us.
