How you can help your Free Local Newspaper survive into the future. A small donation will make a big difference!
By Susan Daly
My Name is Susan Daly, I am the Managing Editor/CE Supervisor of Sandymount Community Services/NewsFour. I am reaching out to you to support the NewsFour Community Newspaper. With the economic slowdown following the Covid-19 Pandemic the newspaper advertising revenue declined sharply leaving us financially fragile. Just a small donation will help us to continue supplying NewsFour, free of charge, to our community.
NewsFour is an invaluable resource for historians and local studies, as it contains a multitude of detail about the lives of the ordinary people of Dublin, in the articles and in the advertisements and community notes. The paper is produced by the dedicated efforts of the community employment participants of Sandymount Community Services, which is based in Ringsend, employing and training 21 people in the local area. Our project is not-for-profit, and your donation will go toward the printing and distribution costs of NewsFour.
Update
Thank you to all who have made donations to date, with your support, NewsFour will be striving to serve D4 with even more news, features and sport in the months to come.
A special thanks to the Aviva Stadium Community Fund for their continued support over the past few very difficult years.
Following our GoFundMe appeal, some local Businesses/Groups have supported us by taking out Advertisements in our paper to which we are extremely grateful.
But we are not out of the woods yet!
NewsFour is a strong product and is Free to our community. We are anxious that we restore a degree of financial stability to what is a unifying and widely appreciated community resource.
YOU can make a difference by donating today to help create a stable and secure environment to secure the future of NewsFour.
