Why We Offer It?

Supporting Charities with Real Media Exposure

Because your cause deserves to be heard.
At Newsmakers, we believe impact shouldn’t depend on budget. Too many UK charities and nonprofits do powerful, life-changing work — but struggle to get media attention due to limited PR resources.

That’s why we created our Free Press Release for Charities initiative — to level the playing field and help mission-driven organisations share their message widely, without paying expensive PR agency fees.

What We Offer?

  • Unlimited free submissions — No catch, no contracts

  • Professional editorial formatting — We review and optimize for press-ready publishing

  • Organic SEO visibility — Your releases are indexed by Google, Bing, and Yahoo

  • UK-based exposure — Your story reaches relevant local and national audiences

  • 24–48h turnaround — Fast approval and syndication

Whether you’re launching a campaign, announcing a grant, or celebrating a milestone — your story deserves real visibility, not just a Facebook post.

📣 Real Impact for Real Causes

Hundreds of UK charities miss out on free traffic, awareness, and donations simply because their news isn’t visible on search engines or media platforms. We change that.

By giving nonprofits a platform to publish their press releases at no cost, we help them reach:

  • Local journalists

  • Donors and volunteers

  • Policy-makers and funders

  • Community networks and bloggers
