Roadster!'s Biggest Opportunity Yet! We Need Your Help!

Dear Roadster! Supporters,

We're bursting with excitement to share a groundbreaking development for ROADSTER! Magazine! This August, we have an unparalleled chance to elevate our mission and connect with an enormous new audience.

For those new to our journey, Roadster! Magazine is a vibrant and insightful motoring magazine with a unique twist: it's created by kids, for kids aged roughly 8 to 12!

Our story (in brief)

Back in Autumn 2022 an 8-year-old named Sam wondered why there wasn't a car magazine just for kids who were as crazy about cars as he was. So, with a bit of grown-up help, he decided to make his own! Since then we have made 8 issues of our motoring magazine for kids! We publish three times a year, aligned to school holidays - so we work on it in half-term and publish in the Spring, Summer and Winter school holidays.

What makes "Roadster!" so magnetic?

* It's genuinely for kids: The content aims to educate, inspire, and entertain young car enthusiasts.

* Kids are in the driver's seat: Children are actively involved in creating the magazine, from writing articles to photography and design. Sam himself is the "Editor-in-Chief"!

* It's more than just cars: While it's definitely about things on the road, it also touches on road safety, STEM, geography, history, environmental concerns and literacy – all wrapped up in a fun, kid-friendly way.

* It's a multimedia experience: Beyond the print magazine (published three times a year), "Roadster!" includes videos, social media, events, and a website, offering lots of ways for kids to engage.

* It's not-for-profit: Any income generated is reinvested back into the project, showing a real passion for creating something special for young readers.

Roadster! is a fantastic example of "connected learning," where kids' interests power their learning through hands-on creation and collaboration. Getting their work in print is a seriously rewarding experience for any child!

The Opportunity

We've been given an incredible invitation to be part of a major national event this August. This is a truly significant platform that will allow us to showcase ROADSTER! to thousands upon thousands of families who share our passion for learning and exploration. This is the moment we've been working towards – a chance to expand our community, find new young voices, and amplify our unique educational approach.

To make the most of this extraordinary opportunity, we need to print 2,000 copies of our latest magazine specifically for distribution and sale at this event. This means reaching a vast number of potential readers who might never have discovered us otherwise.

We're launching a rapid funding drive to raise £1,500. This essential funding will directly cover the printing of these 2,000 magazines. Every contribution helps us literally put ROADSTER! into the hands of more children at this pivotal event.

By supporting us now, you're not just funding a print run; you're investing in the future of ROADSTER! You're helping us reach a significantly wider audience, secure new subscribers, and ultimately, empower more young minds through the exciting world of motoring.

Be a vital part of our journey as we take ROADSTER! to this very exciting national platform! Let's hit this £1,000 goal and make a lasting impact together!

Thank you for believing in our potential
