The Dulwich Diverter: Help ensure the next ten years!

[markmc71]

Help us mark a decade of local journalism and ensure the next ten years of The Dulwich Diverter!

To pledge, please go to: tiny.cc/dd10

Since 2016, The Dulwich Diverter has been telling the stories that matter in East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Dulwich Village and the surrounding neighbourhoods. 

Stories about the independent traders, the everyday heroes, the corners of SE22 that wouldn't normally make the front page.

In early 2026 we hope to reach our 10‑year anniversary. 
 
Why this campaign matters:

Free, local journalism in print is under pressure. The voices and stories of our community deserve an ongoing platform and your support will help ensure that platform remains vibrant, independent, and thriving.

What we’ll do with your support:

With your pledge today you will help us to keep going for the next few years, produce a special 10‑year anniversary print edition and host an event to celebrate 10 years of the newspaper.

A bit more information about us:

Through reading our newspapers, people have become involved with local charities and good causes they may otherwise never have known about.

We rely solely on advertising sales to keep us in print. However, this year has been a somewhat bumpy ride for many local businesses who have been regular supporters of the paper hence us needing to crowdfund.

All revenue raised helps us pay our contributors and fund the professional journalism and high quality photography, illustration and design that are the hallmarks of the titles we produce.

The more money we have, the more stories we can publish and every single page of advertising is thoughtfully matched with a page of high quality and engaging editorial  (“all killer, no filler” to quote one reader), which increases reader “dwell time” and ensures that people linger on each spread for longer.

We personally hand deliver every single copy of the newspaper and we have a diverse range of stockists to ensure we reach the whole of the community, not just one part of it. 

You can find us in all sorts of places, from laundrettes, libraries and hair salons to shops, pubs and cafes.

We believe local publications should truly reflect the areas they cover and we strive to represent the incredible diversity of south-east London on our pages. 

We invest a huge amount of time and effort in seeking out stories that no one else has written about and sharing them with our readers.

We aim to appeal to everyone in the area; those who have lived here their whole lives and those who have just arrived. We have readers of all ages – from 9 to 99!
