Ponsonby News is all about the community and supporting local businesses, where help is needed.

Ponsonby, Auckland

Published in Ponsonby since 1989 and read around the world, Ponsonby News is the living, beating heart of the iconic inner central suburb.

Dedicated to representing the community and uplifting local businesses, Ponsonby News is a free, monthly community publication helping locals – and those abroad - keep in touch with our vibrant neighbourhood. However, due to the current economic climate, it’s our turn to ask for help from our readers, advertisers and supporters.

We rely on advertising to fund what we do, and with marketing budgets being slashed across many industries our ad revenue has dropped dramatically. This has given us many sleepless nights and caused untold stress, as we try our utmost to keep our much-loved heritage publication afloat.

Over the years we have showcased the best of Ponsonby and the inner central suburbs around us and seen fledgling businesses gain nationwide success, now we are seeking your support so we can continue to do so for many years to come.

Use of funds

A shout out to friends and family...we need support right now to get our final print bill paid. Sadly on 27 February Jay experienced a stroke and he was in Auckland hospital for 3 days...He has also injured his knee and is finding it hard to walk and work. He still hasn't recovered completely.

Both of us are unwell and the stress at the moment is pretty hard on us. Please spread the word and we'd love a donation if you would like to support us..
