The world’s first free PR platform, Newspage, today announced it will offer its Premium subscription for free to all UK charities until inflation is back at the Bank of England’s 2% target, to help them through the cost of living crisis.

Newspage, which launched in early 2021, gives every charity the chance to be featured in the local, trade, national and even international media for free.

Newspage enables charities to create their own publicly visible and fully branded media centre — something many of them don’t have — in a matter of minutes.

They then receive ‘NewsAlerts’ ‘in app’ to breaking or upcoming news stories that they could contribute to and are also able to add news stories of their own. The Newspage editorial team will edit and promote stories it believes will be of interest to the media for free.

Benefits of the Premium subscription, which usually costs £19.99 inc. VAT a month, include:

Charities should simply create a free Newspage – https://newspage.co.uk – and will be upgraded to Premium by the Newspage team. 

Dominic Hiatt, founder, Newspage, said:

“It’s been a brutal two years for UK charities with demand for their services soaring during the pandemic while donations have gone off a cliff. And now, with the cost of living crisis, it’s getting worse, as there is no Government support and cash-strapped consumers are finding it hard to donate. With this in mind, we’ve made the decision to offer our Premium subscription for free. Hopefully, this will ensure they stay front of mind and drive donations. Once inflation is back to 2%, we’ll offer charities a discounted rate but, with inflation at a 30-year high, it looks like we will be taking care of charities for the foreseeable.”
