Help keep local news alive — share your stories with The Heathfield News

At The Heathfield News, we believe that local stories are the heartbeat of our area. They connect neighbours, celebrate the good happening quietly around us, and give credit where it’s due. From charity fundraisers and school achievements to new ventures and community milestones, every story adds to the shared record of life in and around Heathfield.

We’d love to hear from residents, community groups, schools, and local businesses with updates or news that matter to you. Your contribution helps us reflect the area honestly — what’s changing, what’s thriving, and what people care about.

What to send

When sharing a story, please include:

  • A short article (around 150–400 words) written in plain language. Tell us who, what, when, where, and why it’s meaningful locally.
  • One or more clear, good-quality photos. If people are pictured, include their names (left to right).
  • Any relevant links or contact details for readers who might want to know more.

How to send it

Email your stories and photos to anna@theheathfieldnews.co.uk. Submissions can come from anyone — individuals, clubs, schools, or businesses — and can cover almost anything with a local angle.

Our editorial team reviews every submission and decides what to publish. Pieces may be edited for clarity, accuracy, or length, but we do our best to preserve the spirit of your story.

Local journalism thrives when the community feeds it. If you see something happening in your corner of Heathfield, let us know — because when we share what’s happening close to home, everyone benefits.
