Support THE ROGUE REPORTER Coverage in West Yorkshire

Hi everyone,

Thanks for clicking the link and taking the time to read this.

As many of you know, I’ve been independently covering local news across West Yorkshire — especially in Bradford and Halifax. Whether it’s breaking news, community stories, or live updates, I’m passionate about keeping you informed and connected to what’s happening on our streets.

To take this work to the next level, I’m looking to raise £7,665 for a high-spec waterproof thermal drone. This drone will allow me to capture footage in all weather conditions, day or night — something that’s crucial when reporting in real-time or covering incidents in difficult environments.

If we exceed that goal, the additional funds will go toward upgrading my recording setup — specifically, an 8K Canon camera with a professional-grade telescopic lens, estimated around £6,000. Any further support will help cover fuel and running costs, ensuring I can continue to get to where the stories are, quickly and safely.

This isn’t about profit — I won’t be using a single penny for personal gain. Every donation will be invested directly into equipment and logistics so I can continue delivering the high-quality, independent content you rely on without a cost to me!

I’ve had sponsorship offers from companies in exchange for exposure, but I’ve chosen to stay independent. I don’t want to be tied to anyone — I just want to do what I do, with the help and backing of you, my followers. I currently have 45,000 followers on Facebook at £5 each this would be a massive £225,000 if only 9,000 people donated (20% of my following) it would be £45,000!

If you’ve ever found my updates helpful, insightful, or important — please consider supporting this campaign. Every donation, big or small, will make a real difference.

Thank you so much,
