SPRING 2024 COMMUNITY SHARE OFFER
Exeter Observer celebrates five years of local public interest news publishing
For the past five years Exeter Observer’s independent public interest journalism has held power and influence in our city to account. We’ve had real-world impact while proving that reader-funded media can deliver the accountable public interest journalism our local democracy needs.
We’ve published more than 550 news stories, features, investigations, community and culture previews, newsletters and special reports. We have scrutinised policy and decision-making, exposed misuse of public money and resources, examined key issues and organisations, championed open democracy and revealed information that would otherwise remain obscured.
We have engaged and enraged decision-makers and others in leadership roles as well as those behind the scenes with influence over issues which affect us all.
Our website now serves more than a million page views each year and our readership and subscriber base have doubled in the past twelve months.
We’d like to thank everyone who has supported our public interest news publishing over the past five years. We’re looking forward to five more.
We’re expanding our team to deliver all the local news that matters so we’re running a community share offer to raise the investment we need to finance our growth.
Our share offer is eligible for 50% tax relief under HMRC’s Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme, with scope to claim capital gains tax and loss relief too.
Our investors can claim back half their stake and keep all their shares.
Find out more about our spring 2024 community share offer on our website or come along to an informal event for prospective investors.
With your help we can deliver all the independent journalism Exeter needs.
