Our Newsbeat Newsletter goes out the 1st week of every month, so if you know any stories or workshops or testimonies that would be useful, I would appreciate them by the 24th of every month.
It doesn't need to be long, whether it be 1 page or 1/2 a page or even just a paragraph and lots of good quality photos - this would be great!
In the month of March our theme will be focusing on " Thankfulness". If you have any people or know of a story that leads to this theme that would great. Or if not, anything is welcome.
