Re-named and re-designed to a magazine-style eight-page folded, printed newsletter and an online flipbook – flipbook allows the same look and impact as print that is lost by Mailchimp free-account limitations. A Mailchimp 'taster' is sent with hyperlink to flipbook, Emmaus Bristol's website and donation pages.
