Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) has renewed its support for industry charity NewstrAid with a further £10,000 corporate sponsorship donation this month (October), continuing a partnership that has helped the charity significantly increase the number of newstrade colleagues it supports.
Partnership since 2022
The news publisher has supported NewstrAid since 2022, with its ongoing backing helping the charity provide vital financial, emotional and practical assistance to more people from the newspaper and magazine industry during a period of considerable economic pressure.
Between 2022 and 2025, NewstrAid more than doubled the number of newstrade colleagues it helped, reflecting both the growing demand for its services and the charity’s continued efforts to reach more people across the industry.
Charity's gratitude
Neil Jagger, chief executive of NewstrAid, said: “We are extremely grateful to Associated Newspapers for continuing its support with another generous £10,000 donation.
“Industry support like this is essential in helping NewstrAid to continue to expand its reach and increase the number of people it is able to support each year.”
