I run AboutMyArea local community websites for the Rossendale and BL0 and BL8 postcode areas, which cover much of Rossendale and parts of north Bury. I passionately believe that people should take an interest in what is happening within their local community and strive to make a difference. There's so much going on, and it's such a shame that people don't seem to know about these events. I aim to bring everything together in one place, making it easy to see what you want, where you want to go and where you'd like to discover next. My websites give local community groups the opportunity to reach people within the local area and keep them up to date with their activities. They also celebrate what's great about living in Rossendale and north Bury, and there's plenty to celebrate!

Hi, I am the AboutMyArea site editor for four websites covering the Mid & North Holderness, East Wolds & Coastal and Beverley postcode areas. Basically, that encompasses everything lying between Driffield and Sproatley (including Hornsea & Beverley!). I aim to provide an affordable advertising option for Local Businesses so that I can provide a Free & Friendly service to local interest and volunteer groups, local charities and other local good causes. I also pledge to pass-on a worthwhile portion of all such revenues to the benefit of local charities and good causes. The websites aim to keep you up-to-date with everything that's going on in our area and who you can contact if you need to find out more. YOU have the ability to help too, because YOU can contribute directly to the websites - just logon to discover more! Remember, we want to be able to say "If it's on, it's in!"

I run the AboutMyArea community website for Neston Heswall, Bromborough, Bebington and villages throughout South Wirral. I take a very hands-on approach to gathering news and making things happen in my area, by being involved with various community organisations and the Chamber of Trade. I believe the area deserves it’s own dedicated news and information platform, and somewhere for local people to have their say. I also seek to give local businesses a truly cost-effective way of letting people know about their services. Buy Local!

I am the site editor for Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport. I've been with AboutMyArea since the end of 2005 and love providing a platform for local groups, people and businesses, as well as a community news resource. I started running my site initially in the north of Portsmouth but recently expanded and can now offer a more flexible service with a wider user base. I've lived in Portsmouth all my life but I am still amazed about the amount of new things I am finding out about the area.

We run AboutMyArea EN9 local interactive community website for Waltham Abbey, Nazeing, Upshire and surrounding villages in the EN9 region.

We are proud to support and get involved with community groups and projects since we launched in the summer of 2008. Our aim is to become a one stop website resource for all local information and to promote positive news, events, resources and attractions to the local community and beyond. If you would like to contribute to the website and help “keep the spirit of community alive in EN9”, please get in contact. We look forward to hearing from you.
