💛 Help us keep the Pulse going
The Pulse is free to read, and the ads in our daily newsletter don't pay us just for appearing. So the best way to support us is simple: tap an ad when you see something that interests you. It costs you nothing and helps us enormously.
Forward this newsletter to your friends, family, neighbours, foodbanks, churches, and schools and PTAs. The more Croydon residents we reach, the more local businesses and community groups we can shine a light on.
🤝 Are you a Croydon business?
We're looking for local businesses to partner with us on a Croydon-wide initiative offering exclusive reader offers. If you'd like to collaborate, just reply to this email. More coming soon!
Thanks for being part of the Pulse. See you Monday! 👋
