Welcome to The Old Post Office’s newsletter.
We’ve had a flurry of new subscribers in the few weeks since we sent the last newsletter. Welcome all - our newsletter is ordinarily weekly, but half term and an inset day at my son’s school threw me off schedule.
We've got plenty to share thanks to the hiatus, including a local poster campaign during Pride month, community updates and local events. Thanks for being part of our community - we're excited to keep you in the loop.

Local resident David Barker has made Pride in Stirchley posters for businesses on Stirchley High Street “to celebrate pride and stand up to all the division being pushed on us.” If you want a copy for your home, there are loads available to pick up from The Old Post Office.
We also have a stash of Better Streets for Birmingham posters, and Brummies Unite Against Racism. Fill your windows!
Please collect the posters during coworking hours (9am–5pm). If you're unsure where they are, the keyholder on duty will be able to show you the poster stacks.
