Thanks to every person who has subscribed to The Happy News, we can now commit to sending 1 FREE NEWSPAPER TO A SCHOOL IN THE UK FOR EVERY 2 NEWSPAPERS WE SEND TO OUR AMAZING SUBSCRIBERS.
Founder, Emily Coxhead said: “I believe that children deserve to be hearing about the good stuff going on in the world and not constantly surrounded by terror and fear. I want to encourage and inspire children to find their own happy news and look for the kindness in their schools and communities“.
In September we sent 10,000 newspapers to 10,000 schools in the UK with help from the wonderful Rising Stars, who send out resources to schools all over the UK.
The Happy News For Schools initiative will run like a raffle. Any School in the UK can sign up and will be in with a chance of receiving free newspapers each quarter. This will run continuously so all schools will, at some point, receive free newspapers.
The first ‘freebies’ will be given out with Issue 20 of The Happy Newspaper (Dec 2020).
We currently have 12000+ subscribers which means we can send 10 newspapers to at least 600 schools in December, which is very exciting. Of course, the more subscribers we get the more schools we can provide with The Happy News!
Along with sending free newspapers to schools we will be providing a free resource pack every quarter which you can download and use in the classroom or at home.
If you are a teacher, please fill in the form below to be entered in our raffle each quarter.
