The Knowledge is the community newsletter and website for Knowle West.
The team at Knowle West Alliance supports the production of the newsletter and makes sure the website is running smoothly, but much of the content is created by local residents and organisations.
The printed Knowledge is produced three times a year with 6,500 copies printed per issue. Some 5,500 are delivered to homes in Knowle West and the remaining 1,000 are circulated to local community venues and organisations.
You can use the newsletter and website to find out what’s happening around Knowle West, tell people about your event or organisation and have your say about local issues.

After seeing the article in the Knowledge a lot of people came into the shop saying they had read the piece and I got lots of texts and calls. People said they were really happy to have this facility in their local area…

The response has been great… A lot of customers came in saying they had seen the article about the shop. It was good because a lot of them said they hadn’t realised we had moved before seeing it in The Knowledge…

Community Website
Alongside The Knowledge, you can also use the Community Website as central space to see what activities are on, the organisations and groups you can get involved in, as well as sharing good news stories across the community.
The site is moderated and administrated by the Knowle West Alliance team but it belongs to everyone.
In order for this site to truly belong to the community, the website is equally accessible for all. It is easy for anybody in the community (organisations, schools, local residents and you) to be able to upload good news stories, events and activities.
Local people can become community reporters and organisations, groups and businesses can use the site as a promotional tool.
The website welcomes stories and information from everyone in the Knowle West community, however Knowle West Alliance reserve the right to remove anything that contains offensive language, incite violence or illegal activity, or are abusive, racist, sexist or homophobic.
