A special message to our partners, readers and subscribers which you can Read in your browser if you like.

Hello <<First Name>>

Parents know that when children are learning to read, any available text can be used as practice, from front pages to headlines on the Screen. They are only practising what they learn in the classroom and our grown up guidance will always be needed to make the meaning of the headlines clearer.

So, how did you explain some of the headlines in a balanced way?

Feed their minds with Chicken!

Chicken! Newspaper is a unique printed English language newspaper for children, reaching over 40,000 people and a quickly expanding online readership over the past three years. It brings current affairs into the classroom, written and illustrated to capture each reader’s imagination once every school term. Furthermore, it involves parents, teachers and the community.

2017 is the Chinese year of the rooster. So, we are inviting our partners to join the Chicken Run! Challenge and sponsor anything from a classroom to a school's worth of copies of Chicken newspaper and the 17 Promises supplement. Invite your associates to do the same.

17 Promises children should know

Chicken Newspaper presents ‘17 Promises’, as supplement about the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to make sure that children know and understand what the SDGs are and what they mean for their future.
The SDGs will be brought to life by the newspaper’s team of children’s books authors, illustrators, designers, teachers, subject experts, partners and of course, the children themselves. Achieving education for all is one of the most powerful and proven vehicles for sustainable development.

Sponsorship Cost & Benefits

£12,000 sponsors 50 copies delivered to children in 40 schools for one year. For under 10p (15c) per person per year you can reach those who live in the communities and help them learn about the world, their neighbourhood and the importance of sustainability.

Do you see yourself as partner?

For sponsoring between 50 and 500 copies, partners will enjoy:

Three deliveries of the newspaper and supplement on behalf of your organization throughout the school year.
A reach of up to 8000+ children, and 240+ teachers and 15,000+ adults a year
A unique, focused involvement in current affairs, community information and the SDGs

Our fantastic partners have made it possible for us to reach children in over 30 outlets in the London area, including schools, cafes and doctors' surgeries. One copy of chicken newspaper in a classroom makes an impact in a whole school.
