Community – My Messenger

Supporting local charities and not-for-profit organisations.

We have weekly spaces available for local charities and not-for-profit organisations to utilise, best of all, they are free.

Apply for a community space.

There are 2 community space options, Community Articles and My Community Diary.

Community Articles

Promote your not-for-profit news and events through our Community Articles feature. One selected article will be featured on the front page of the Messenger, while additional articles will appear in the My Community News or What’s On sections. With a focus on upcoming events and community news, this is a great opportunity to gain free publicity and awareness for your organisation. Apply to feature in Community Articles here.

jpeg or pdf format, and the photo must be high resolution (at least
300dpi). The photograph should preferably have people in it and
cannot be advertising any businesses.
