'Community Newswire has been a great help to us in promoting our community theatre performances across the country. We are a small group and it gives us a professional access point to local and regional newspapers that might not otherwise take us seriously! We are most grateful for the service that is provided and sincerely hope the good work may continue to help us and other small groups like us!'
Kate Bramley, Artistic Director, Badapple Theatre
'Using Community Newswire has made a big difference in the amount of coverage that the charity has received in the North East, especially for radio and TV as our news finds its way to journalists and other types of media that I might not otherwise have on my media contacts list or have access to.'

'Thank you for the excellent article on our music event. We did manage to get a fair bit of web coverage, which is fantastic given that it's our first event. The night itself was a success and we were very pleased with the attendance. We're hoping to be able to run something on a larger scale later in the year. Thanks again.'
