How the Buzz is
Funded Ongoing costs
are mainly for printing each edition and this is paid for by the advertising
in each edition.
All local labour is provided free of charge by a large body of volunteers,
most of whom are involved in door to door deliveries each month. The
paper is also created by Peter McRobert and is then printed by commercial printers, this is our only fixed
cost. Other start-up costs were all purchased using grants and
donations provided by the following:
