Like many other community organisations the Messenger faces financial issues, this means the end of my position as an employed community street reporter and part-time Development Worker.
Watching this community newspaper develop from its outset has been my pleasure. To have been able to serve this community using some of the skills I’ve learnt in this life has also helped in the development of my own personality. I have had the opportunity to meet, speak to and help many, by highlighting those less fortunate and in more difficult positions than others, while also gaining the ability to challenge the system that, through its design, leaves so many downtrodden, forgotten and on so many occasions mistreated.
