We'd also love it if you filled out our reader questionnaire. There's a chance to win prizes, while helping to shape the future of the magazine.
You can also always get in touch with us if you have any feedback. And if you're interested in writing for us yourself, there's a page on the site with all the info. You don't need formal qualifications or experience, just a way with words and a story to tell.
If you're enjoying the newsletter, please tell your friends and family to sign up. As a small publication without the online presence of legacy newspapers or large corporate platforms, we rely on word of mouth within our city.

The Sheffield Tab reports that the city’s Ukrainian community marched in the city on the six-month anniversary of the Russian invasion: Dressed in blue and yellow clothing and carrying home-made signs with messages including “Thank you Britain” and “Stop Putin”, most of those in attendance were displaced women and children, reflecting Ukraine’s martial law that forced men to fight. As explained by the march’s organiser, Paulo Romaniuviku, St Mary’s Church was chosen as its starting point because it is where many of the 600 Ukranians living in Sheffield meet to have English lessons twice a week. |

Councillors Ben Miskell and Nabeela Mowlana have launched a campaign to stop the closure of what then say is the last remaining bank in their community, as Lloyds Bank on City Road is set to close its doors, asking people to sign a petition: Councillor Nabeela Mowlana hit back at claims by Lloyds Bank that the closure reflected changing customer demands, saying: “It’s only a few years back that the taxpayer bailed out Lloyds Banking Group from collapse. They are now repaying us by closing the last remaining bank in our community. Many residents where I live, particularly those that are elderly, will be hit the hardest.” |
