Tim was a wonderful writer, a legendary Robin Hood and a friend to many.

But most importantly, he was a father.

The Beestonian is looking for sponsorship, and we think that with your company's values and pedigree, you're a perfect fit!

The Beestonian is a free, well regarded and trusted community magazine, read by thousands of people in and around Beeston (our Facebook page has 7.1K followers and regularly engages over 10,000 per week, and our newer Instagram page already has 1K followers). It's also an increasingly important channel of communication with our student population.

Now imagine your name alongside ours. Your company featured in all our publications and online content.

We're looking for help with our printing costs, so that we can reach even more people across our community. This is a real opportunity, not just to help us, but to promote your brand, and become recognised as a prominent supporter of true community spirit.

The Beestonian is continually working to foster partnerships with local organisations and independent businesses. We've won plaudits from local community leaders, the Beeston Civic Society, and the community as a whole, and now we're building towards an even bigger future in 2025. This is a really exciting time for us, and we would love for you to get involved.

Blimey! Out designer Dan's latest piece of art is a cracker (even if it is of a part of that little place down the road from Beeston).

Recognise it?
