Support local news, support Thurrock – for less than the price of a cup of coffee
We are asking you - our readers - to support us with a donation, as we aim to grow and keep local, independent journalism thriving.
Local news is the heartbeat of a community. It connects us, informs us, and champions the people and businesses that make our towns unique.
But right now, local journalism is under threat.
At Nub News, we are committed to changing that.
We have invested millions into independent local news, ensuring Thurrock and other towns has a dedicated, trusted source of journalism.
Our mission is simple: to make local news sustainable, to tell the stories that matter, and to give our community a voice.
Unlike many media outlets, we do not bombard you with disruptive ads or chase empty clicks.
Our journalists live and work locally, writing real stories about real people — covering everything from local government decisions to the independent shops that make our high street thrive.
We believe in community-first journalism, and we know you do too.

Why We Need Your Help
While Nub News has grown rapidly — with over 10 million readers last year — keeping local news free and accessible for all requires support.
That is why we are launching a new way for you to help keep independent news alive in Thurrock and other towns.
For less than the price of a cup of coffee each month, you can ensure that high-quality, ad-free, independent journalism continues in our town.
Your support means more investigative reporting, more local stories, and more advocacy for the people and businesses that make Thurrock special.

How You Can Make a Difference
We are offering flexible monthly support options at different levels, so you can choose the amount that works for you.
And as a thank you, all supporters will enjoy an ad-free reading experience on Thurrock Nub News — just quality journalism, uninterrupted.
If a monthly commitment is not for you, we also offer the option to make a one-off donation.
Every contribution, big or small, helps keep independent journalism alive.
We have seen first-hand the impact of strong, community-focused journalism.
"Since launching Nub News, I've witnessed the power of local journalism," said Nub News CEO Karl Hancock.
"From holding authorities to account to celebrating the incredible work of our independent businesses, we are here for Thurrock.
But we need your help to continue to inform our town."

If you believe in the importance of local news — if you care about Thurrock and want it to flourish — become a supporter today.

We’d really appreciate it if you were to tell your family and friends about us.
