Supporting MULE

MULE is Manchester’s alternative newspaper, published in print and online. Our print run is costly and we also have office costs, volunteer expenses, distribution costs, publicity, postage and more to cover. One day we would like to be a sustainable workers cooperative, able to pay our passionate and committed contributors who cover stories that no one else does. While mainstream print media struggles to be profitable, we don’t want to make a profit, we just want to be here to stay.

We’re extremely frugal – just £5 a month can go a long way and let us cover a few extra news stories that aren’t getting attention — like this about the council’s closed doors. Plus we don’t spend £220 on a pen.

MULE currently relies entirely on grants, donations, fundraising events and a little ethical advertising. All donations go to support our work:

Become a Friend of MULE with a regular contribution. Donations of over £20 receive MULE to your door for a year. Monthly donors will also be kept up to date on organisational news, invited to MULE events and receive an information pack on the variety of ways you can get involved.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would like to know more about how your money will be spent, or want to donate to a specific part of the project.

Thanks!
