The RiverView Newspaper

Created by local people for local people.

Barking Riverside Limited have partnered with TWCP and Social Spider CIC, providing funding to help transform Riverside News into a sustainable resident-led newspaper. The vision is to create a resident editorial board (REB) made up of local people who will lead in the design, production and distribution of this paper. The REB has now been established with currently three local residents; Hafiz Rahman, Venilia Amorim, and Zahra Awani, being trained and supported by Social Spider to produce the quarterly publication. It will continue to share local updates as well as championing resident stories.

Submit contributions for our Spring 2023 Issue (March) from January 2023: We will be inviting local residents and community organisations to contribute to our sixth issue, which will be published in March. 

Please email us with ideas for articles you would like to write: zahra@thames-life.org.uk. We will discuss your article idea with you before confirming if it is something we’d like to include.
