Meet our patrons
Our patrons are individuals and organisations who understand the value of accurate and trusted local news.
They each pay a monthly fee to support our work. In return we list them on this page, and interview them once a year about their organisation and the state of Eastbourne. If they run events you might like, we'll also consider including links to them in our newsletters.
Patrons have no say over our editorial content. We are fiercely independent and will remain so. If you'd like to be a patron and support vital local news reporting, please get in touch.
Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce
"The Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce believes that a free press is vital to democracy. The Eastbourne Reporter investigates topics fully and gives a balanced, unvarnished review of the facts without bias, and so the Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce is pleased to support this valuable online news resource.
“It can be hard to seek out the truth on social media so an online, accurate news source is vital to make informed decisions about your business.
“Please share this with all your local contacts and subscribe from just £1.00 per month to read all the latest news about Eastbourne."

TechResort
"We help people who're left behind every day, so it's vital to have a local newspaper that tells the truth about what's happening in our town and country.
"TechResort is proud to support independent journalism, and we urge other local organisations and individuals to do the same."
