The Havering Daily is an online community newspaper based in the London Borough of Havering. The Havering Daily was founded in late 2019 with the goal of fostering a sense of community and providing a platform for local residents to share their thoughts and ideas. Throughout its existence, the newspaper has been actively involved in a variety of community projects and initiatives, including campaigns to support the Metropolitan Police, litter-picking events, tree-planting campaigns, and stopping the destruction of hundreds of trees within the borough.

Community Involvement
The Havering Daily has made a commitment to being a community-based newspaper and has actively sought out ways to make a positive impact in the local area. Some examples of the newspaper's community projects include:


 * 'Back Our Bobbies': A campaign to support the Metropolitan Police and showcase the work they do for the community. As a result of this campaign, the Havering Daily arranged a surprise birthday visit by the police for a girl with special needs in Romford. The YouTube video of this event has been viewed millions of times.
 * 'Pick a Street': Regular litter-picking events organized by the Havering Daily that have involved hundreds of local residents.
 * 'Trees for Havering': A campaign to plant thousands of trees in the local area with the help of the community.
 * 'STOP Network Rail': The Havering Daily joined a campaign to stop the destruction of hundreds of trees by Network Rail and ran regular updates and articles about the issue.

The Havering Daily has also been involved in organizing special experiences for individuals in the community. For example, the newspaper arranged for a farm to visit a young girl with cancer who was unable to visit the farm due to ill health and lockdown. This event was featured on BBC London. The Havering Daily also helped arrange multiple other experiences for the girl before her death.
