Like what you read and what we do? Then get involved in your community publication! Do you know that shmuPRESS have over 45 active volunteers working on our community magazines in the seven regeneration areas of our city? Our volunteers work hard throughout the year alongside our shmuPRESS and shmuDESIGN teams to produce seven full colour magazines filled to the brim with all the latest community news, opportunities, issues and stories relevant to you and your local community.
Each magazine is produced three times per year, delivering 21 publications citywide per annum. They contain local stories and relevant information, granting the city a rare and personalised insight into the hearts of our communities. The best aspect of this is delivering each area a platform to air their views, concerns and report on issues that are important to them. It is also an opportunity to present an insider’s view of each community and showcase some of the amazing work happening within them.
The process begins with a group meeting, and the volunteers are responsible for sourcing material and deciding on what goes into each publication. Working in conjunction with our shmu team, volunteers involved with shmuPRESS can receive training in journalism and learn exactly how their community magazine is constructed. Budding photographers can also get involved in their locality and provide images for the magazines. There are a number of ways that you can become involved in your local publication, contact Laura Young by email at laura.young@shmu.org.uk or call on 01224 515013 for more information.
