MISSION STATEMENT

Blackpool Spotlight Magazine is unique in Blackpool. There is no other similar local magazine in the Blackpool area. We will act as an ambassador for Blackpool promoting the town and its people. The magazine has a strong community focus to benefit the local community.

We have creative flair and an independent outlook. The magazine is professional, friendly, amusing and stimulating. Readers will have the opportunity to give their views and share their experiences.

We will highlight people who are doing good work in the Fylde area, fundraisers, businessmen and workers. We will provide advice and information on community issues by gaining access to the voluntary community and faiths sector for editorial. There is no other company in this area fundraising for North West Cancer Research Fund, which is a local charity. 5% of magazine sales will be donated to N.W.C.R.F. Disease and illness cause much distress we want to help provide funds for the research to find the causes. Events will be organized involving the community to raise funds and awareness of the charity.

Nearly 90p in every pound donated to the charity is spent on actual research. Our committee has raised £15,000 for the charity so far. Research is carried out at 3 local universities in the North West, in Lancaster, Liverpool and Bangor. There are about 30 research projects in progress at any one time and all types of cancer are researched. We will feature articles on the development of cancer research to broaden awareness of the different types of cancer affecting different parts of the body. The magazine will help promote health and well-being to local people and bring hope to people who are fighting cancer by covering human-interest success stories.
