It’s finally here!
After months of planning, designing, writing, photographing, editing, and dreaming, The Staffordshire Signal CIC is now live!
This is something I’ve been working towards for a long time, and I can finally share it with you: the very first edition of The Staffordshire Signal, a free, independent lifestyle magazine created to celebrate everything amazing about Staffordshire.
You can read the digital flipbook version right now at www.thestaffordshiresignal.co.uk.
If you would prefer a printed copy, after this weekend, you’ll also find The Staffordshire Signal across shops, cafés, libraries, the Chambers of Commerce, and community spaces throughout Staffordshire.
A Huge Thank You
Before anything else, I want to say a truly heartfelt thank you.
To everyone who’s supported me, encouraged this idea, and especially to the businesses who chose to advertise in this first edition, thank you so much.
I literally wouldn’t have been able to print this magazine without that support. And I mean literally. Without the businesses that believed in it, The Staffordshire Signal would still be a dream sitting on my desk.
Every single advert helped make this possible, and because The Staffordshire Signal is a non-profit CIC, every penny stays right here in Staffordshire. It supports local journalism, creativity, community projects, and opportunities, not shareholders or algorithms.
There’s Even More Online
Alongside the magazine, we’ve launched a brand-new section on The Staffordshire Signal website for news and stories that are too time-sensitive for print or don’t quite fit into the magazine.
It means you can always stay up to date with what’s happening across Staffordshire, from local updates and events to positive community stories and new projects.
You can explore it all at www.thestaffordshiresignal.co.uk.
The Weekly Newsletter
From next week, The Staffordshire Signal will have its own weekly newsletter, landing in inboxes every Wednesday at 7pm.
It’ll include:
- The week’s top local stories
- What’s on across Staffordshire
- The latest £1 Weekly Prize Draw winner and details of the next prize
- Community updates and opportunities
If you haven’t already, you can sign up for free on the website to make sure you don’t miss it - www.thestaffordshiresignal.co.uk
Get Involved
If you’d like to support independent local media, there’s never been a better time. Whether through advertising, sponsorship, or sharing your story, your involvement keeps The Staffordshire Signal free to read and proudly Staffordshire-made.
Together, we can keep building something truly special, media that celebrates people, not profits.
