The Editorial

Thank you to our distributors

The Messenger editorial team would like to say a special thank you to our team of distributors who made sure you got your copy of the Messenger in February, despite having to brave the ice and snow. We could not produce the Messenger without their hard work and dedication.

Compassion in hard times

In recent days, the country has been threatened with a rise in hatred and violence in the wake of the Woolwich murder.

Here in Burngreave, we know not everything is perfect but we hope this is an area where at least we know the importance of different communities living side by side and getting on with each other. Our biggest threat is the loss of compassion in a time of increasing poverty and cuts. More than ever, it’s important we all stick together.
