Got a video that tells your story? Our brand new Videowire service launches Autumn 2010.

'Community Newswire has been invaluable in helping us to get coverage for two events. We sent out the story of an Islamic Values booklet that we were launching at the House of Commons, from which we got quite a bit of coverage locally and nationally.Recently, after sending Community Newswire a press release about Family Links winning an award from the Centre for Social Justice, they fashioned a great article, which was picked up by a couple of newspapers. On both occasions they’ve gone that extra mile to ensure our stories went out.'

'Community Newswire is a fantastic service.  Chickenshed is a charity and we can not afford to place adverts into the media.  We send our press releases to Community Newswire and they make sure that our message is being heard.  They reach the press that we could never reach and they assist us in getting our story out to the world – and it is a free service.  Long live Community Newswire!'
