The Messenger is 21!



As we come of age we happily bring word of a resident’s success in fighting an injustice we reported on the front page of our first issue. 

Messenger Open Day 
We are making plans for The Messenger to expand, with more support and training opportunities for people to get involved in telling their story and to learn about IT and media. By providing publicity and promotional services to local groups, services and businesses, we hope they will prosper and more and more people will think again about Burngreave. 

We are holding an open day on Saturday 20th April, Abbeyfield Park House, 11am to 1pm, where you can find out more, get involved and have a say in the plans. From 1pm to 3pm there will be a discussion about our future plans. More details about the plans here on our new improved website - the gateway to Burngreave on the net, make it your homepage!
