What next for Red Pepper? Community Consultation 2025

After 31 years, Red Pepper is ceasing print production. You can read why here. Now, we are asking YOU – our readers and supporters – to shape what comes next.

Our Community Consultation period is taking place March – June. During this time, we’ll be collecting ideas, input and energy before analysing results and launching a new model based on your feedback in summer 2025.

There are lots of ways to contribute to the consultation and this page will be updated with details of events in the coming weeks.

What to expect

  • Mid-March: We’ll launch a short online survey to gather a wide range of ideas
  • April-May: We’ll host consultation events across the UK and online, including small focus groups and larger gatherings
  • April-May: We’ll launch a recruitment drive for people interested in joining our editorial team and board – revitalising our small team
  • June: We’ll launch a new model of Red Pepper, shaped by your needs, desires and brilliant ideas

None of this transformational work will be possible without your continued support.

We’re asking subscribers to keep contributing to Red Pepper over the next three-months – and hopefully far beyond. We will continue to publish online articles and send exclusive newsletter content your way – so please take this time to enjoy our special bumper-length print issue, engage with the consultation and don’t jump to cancel your direct debit just yet!
