The Bedford Independent Patrons have recognised that the way local news is funded needs to be shaken up. That they need to help support our community’s ecosystem and keep local news alive.
We thank them for their generosity and support. Without them, we would not be able to continue bringing you fact-checked and genuine local news. You can read more about what they do by clicking their logos below.
