An inspiring location and wonderful to be part of so many vital industry discussions, covering AI, Gen Z engagement, public interest news, but also practical advice to aid journalists’ work-life balance and well-being. We were privileged to have the opportunity to speak and raise awareness of the Journalists’ Charity. We want to reach all those who need us for financial support and guidance and are committed to ensuring our provision is relevant and impactful.

At a time when journalism has never been more important to society,  the Irish Ambassador, His Excellency,  Martin Fraser held a reception to  celebrate and recognise the contribution of British and Irish Journalists.

Held at Irish Embassy in London (May 16, 2024) , leaders from across the sector had the opportunity to reflect on the role of journalism during such a challenging period in global affairs with a contribution from Sky News legend Kay Burley.

All of us at the Journalists’  Charity are saddened by the death of Stuart McCartney who was  a stalwart of the charity for so many years.

Stuart, known affectionately throughout his career as The Bullet, volunteered as the charity’s welfare officer in Glasgow and the West of Scotland.

We are delighted to announce our friends Women in Journalism are supporting the Charity at their flag ship event next week ( April 18)

Journalists’ Charity supporters are welcome to attend at the members rate of £10 ( in person) or £2 (online).
