Messenger Editorial

The Messenger has recently been accepted for official registration by the Charity Commission, recognising that our work is for public benefit.We now invite you to our general meeting to amend our constitution with the necessary changes.

The meeting will be at 6.30pm on Wednesday 25th February 2009 at Abbeyfield House.We propose to change our object to:

“To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged community of the BurngreaveWard in the City of Sheffield (the area of benefit) in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society, in particular but not exclusively by the production and publication of a community newspaper.”

Everyone is welcome – please let us know if you would like to come so we can organise the refreshments.
