Issue 481: September 2010
New Start is the toolkit for regeneration practitioners. It's a creative and informative magazine, but it's more than that: it's an online news service, a recruitment aid, a partner for organisations wanting to spread learning and to showcase good practice, and the place that the sector's leading thinkers use to kick-start a debate on key issues.

Who reads New Start?
New Start launched in February 1999 as the first magazine to bring together all the partners involved in delivering sustainable communities.
Our readers work in local authorities, regional development agencies, registered social landlords, regeneration partnerships, government departments, universities, social enterprises, consultancies, environmental regeneration organisations, charities, the voluntary, community and private sector, think tanks, and umbrella organisations. They work across the spectrum of regeneration and sustainable communities – economic development, social inclusion, tackling worklessness, crime reduction.
Like New Start, our readers are intelligent, ambitious and committed to creating sustainable communities. Almost two thirds of our readers are chief executives or directors: New Start’s unique content is depended upon by people who are determined to make communities better.
New Start’s values
New Start’s values are at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to help our readers make a difference in the communities they regenerate. And every year staff nominate three charities to support, all of which are involved in regeneration.
