Welcome to the 50th Burngreave Messenger. Ever since the first two issues in 1999 we have been bringing you news and views, smiles and tears, celebrations and rows from the community.
Five years on we remain committed to the spirit of the early days (see "The Good, the BAD and the Messenger"), we’re still striving to improve communication, to keep people in touch and aware of opportunities and to celebrate our successes and diversity. We’re still dedicated to an independent community voice that tells it like it is and speaks up for residents, and our editorial decisions are still made by residents and volunteers.
We’re grateful to all our advertisers and funders for their support over the last five years. But most of all, thanks to all the writers, volunteers, staff and distributors who keep bringing us the Messenger – the Voice of the Burngreave Community.
