Thanks for helping to keep this great paper alive
AVERY warm welcome to this landmark issue of All Together NOW!
When we set up our FREE charity paper in May 2005, few people thought we would last more than a year.
Seventeen years later, and the presses have rolled with our 100th edition!
It’s been a real rollercoaster of a journey, with lots of heartache along the way, but we’re still here – and determined as ever to keep publishing your favourite newspaper for as long as we can.
The fact that we are still here is largely due to the phenomenal financial support we have received from so many organisations, especially our longstanding partners – the Steve Morgan Foundation and United Utilities. Without them, there would be no All Together NOW!
Philanthropist Steve Morgan said: “I would like to congratulate the All Together NOW! team for reaching the landmark of 100 newspapers.
“There are an estimated 500,000 people in Merseyside and Cheshire who are not connected to the internet so the newspaper is a vital source of helpful information to them.
“We’ve enjoyed a long relationship with All Together NOW! and I look forward to many more newspapers in the future.”
Amanda Phillips, Priority Services Manager at United Utilities, said: “Being one of the main sponsors for All Together NOW! for many years has enabled us to promote directly with our customers.
“As the North West’s water company we have many services and benefits designed to help and support our customers with additional needs.”
Our thanks also go to the Geoffrey and Pauline Martin Charitable Trust and the West Derby Waste Lands Charity for their recent and generous donations.
I hope you enjoy reading this issue. We are back in January. Happy Christmas and let’s hope it’s a great New Year for everyone.
