Press release for Jelly
This is the press release I wrote for the first Frome Jelly, which you might like to use as a template:
Free Jelly for Home Workers
A little bit of New York is coming to Frome in November with a free event for home workers at The Old Church School on Butts Hill, following the success of a similar event in Bath last month.
Jelly was started in New York three years ago by a couple of IT freelancers working from home who felt the need to get out more. Described by its founders as a casual working event where people come together to work for the day, it is being organised by Judy Heminsley whose book Work from Home was published earlier this year.
‘Isolation is one of the biggest challenges of working from home,’ she says, ‘Jelly is a friendly way for home workers to get out of their home office for a change of scene, a good chat and a shot of inspiration.’
Free wi-fi access will be provided by The Old Church School, which provides another alternative to working from home in the form of rented desks and office space.
Frome Jelly will take place between 10 am and 2 pm on Tuesday 17 November. For more information go to Judy Heminsley’s website www.workfromhomewisdom.com. Eight free places will be available from 3 November at http://fromejelly.eventbrite.com

Hi Judy
Great piece of organising, innovation and thanks for the press release which I will be using for our own Jelly event in Taunton on March 4th.
Great work and great for Somerset – well done.

Thanks, Andrew, good news to hear that Jelly is starting in Taunton. Somerset seems to be becoming the Jelly capital of the UK!

Hi Judy, I also have to add my thanks for the wording of your Press Release which you should be able to see in local papers around Ilminster before too long. I’ve tweaked it to suit the Ilminster Jelly but it was great to have something to start with instead of a blank sheet of paper. Should be featured complete with a photo of Dean, me and jelly beans!

Well, I suppose the jelly beans really are the star of the show…
