About Wyre Forest Matters

Introducing Wyre Forest Matters – Your Local Community Magazine!

Wyre Forest Matters is a free monthly magazine dedicated to celebrating everything that makes our town special — from local businesses and community groups to events, charities, and the people who make a difference. 


Our mission is to provide a strong, reliable platform for local businesses, charities, and organisations across the Wyre Forest to promote their services and events. We want to create a go-to source of trusted community news, updates, and features that residents can genuinely rely on and enjoy. 


We know there's a thriving community spirit in the Wyre Forest, but time and again, people tell us they simply don’t know what's going on locally — whether it's events, hidden-gem businesses, or brilliant local causes. That’s where Wyre Forest Matters comes in. 


With more than 80 pick-up points across the town we’re making it easier than ever for people to stay informed, connected, and inspired by what’s happening on their doorstep. 


Be local. Buy local. Support local.



Together, let’s keep Wyre Forest thriving!
