I’m involved in a local charity/community group/religious group/non-profit. Can you help spread the word about the work we do?

Absolutely – we publish regular blogs on non-profits all around Tooting as we’re passionate about making a noise about the great work they do in the area. Email tooting@localnewsie.co.uk for more info.
 

We’re a new business in Tooting. Can you help us get the word out?

Please email tooting@localnewsie.co.uk with brief details of your business (with links to your website and social media) and a few high-quality pictures (including one of you and your team), and we’ll post on our feeds.
 

I have a petition that I’d like to publicise – can you share it?

We’re afraid not, as we need to remain an impartial news source, and sharing a petition could be construed as us supporting it. Also, sharing one petition sets a precedent for sharing all future petitions. However, readers are welcome to share a link to a petition in the comments of a post on our social media feeds (providing of course that the petition relates to the post and is not offensive in any way).
