Sally Churchward is former Southern Daily Echo journalist Sally Churchward. When she was made redundant from her role as a features writer in May, 2019, she wanted to carry on writing about her local community and continue to help bring people together. She reached out to people through Facebook and Twitter and found that other people also wanted to write about and take photos of their local community, not for money but for love. She also found that people were happy to donate towards the set up costs of the website. It is hoped that as the audience of In Common grows, people will value it enough to make regular donations, to help make it sustainable in the long term. This is a new project, and its one that will grow and adapt with time. It’s for you, so please read, share and get involved. Tell them if there’s something you think they should write about, or write it yourself! They believe in the importance of a community news website to keep local people informed and to help strengthen our links with each other.
