The Ambler

The Ambler is a community paper for the town of Amble, Northumberland UK. It is run by one part time worker and a dedicated team of volunteers. We have now been in production for 10 years! Our purpose is to keep local people in touch with local affairs and events of interest to the community by delivering a free newspaper to every house and business in Amble and a number to neighbouring communities.

The Ambler Community Newspaper project serves to work with all sectors and groups in the community, to inform, discuss, campaign and raise awareness of projects and issues which may impact on local residents. We encourage diversity and welcome input from individuals and groups. Recognised as an independent communication tool, local and regional organisations regularly send us information on their groups and activities, and local businesses support us to an extent through advertising.

Thanks to all our sponsors and advertisers who enable us to continue production.   We encourage contributions from anyone in the community who feel that they have anything interesting  to tell us.  We also encourage local people to join the team. Whether you are interested in volunteering, updating your skills or gaining more experience in IT and digital media, you will be most welcome.

The Artograffi page is produced by a group of young people aged 9 yrs upwards, who are  interested in having their say and developing  journalism, layout and photography skills.
