NewsTeam Raises Over £1,000 for NewstrAid for Third Consecutive Year

Newspaper and magazine delivery specialists NewsTeam have raised more than £1,000 for industry charity NewstrAid at their 2026 company conference, marking the third consecutive year the company has supported the charity through a fundraising raffle.

The annual raffle has become a popular feature of NewsTeam’s conference, with delegates once again showing their generosity and commitment to helping colleagues across the newspaper and magazine industry who may be facing difficult times.

Over the past three years, the initiative has raised more than £3,000 for NewstrAid, helping the charity provide vital financial, emotional and practical support to current and former workers from across the newstrade.

Neil Jagger, CEO of NewstrAid, said: “We are extremely grateful to NewsTeam for continuing to champion NewstrAid and the work we do. Raising funds for a third consecutive year demonstrates a genuine commitment to supporting people across our industry, and it’s wonderful to see that enthusiasm continuing.

Events like this are incredibly valuable to us, not only because of the money raised, but also because they provide an opportunity to remind people within the industry that NewstrAid is here to help when life takes an unexpected turn.

Our sincere thanks go to everyone at NewsTeam who helped organise the raffle, provided prizes or bought tickets. Their generosity will make a real difference to people who need our support.”

NewstrAid provides free and confidential assistance to people who work, or have previously worked, in the sale and distribution of newspapers and magazines across the UK. Its services include financial grants, emotional wellbeing support and practical advice for those facing challenges such as illness, bereavement, redundancy or unexpected financial difficulties.

The charity relies on the continued generosity of industry partners and supporters to ensure its services remain available to those who need them.
