Steel Jackdaw Magazine (SJ)

Steel Jackdaw Magazine (SJ) has been created as a tool for positivity, to not only celebrate the arts in all its forms but also to do some good. Environmental and social responsibility are key issues that we all face, so the magazine has a charitable focus. The launch edition was a gift to the world, sold as a ‘donate to download’ ebook, with all proceeds split equally between two chosen causes. ClientEarth, an international environmental organisation and The Nelson Trust, a local, Gloucestershire-UK based charity supporting vulnerable people.

The magazine aims to encourage people to take positive action, in their own way, to help protect the environment and support community building. Not just to raise awareness but to do something positive that creates change. To donate to charitable and environmental causes, change lifestyles, reduce our individual impact, stand up for equality and diversity, or start community projects and initiatives. Whatever that may be, do it with love, strength and passion.

Art is a proven mechanism to alleviate stress and anxiety; it boosts mental health, allows us to forget our worries, and allows our minds to drift into daydreams. In these ever-changing times, we need to be entertained, distracted, and inspired, all of which art can provide in abundance.

Our editions feature local and international creatives of all disciplines and backgrounds in a quarterly celebration of the power of creativity. We also feature businesses, brands, and organisations that do good, as well as articles and reviews from creative practitioners.

From poetry to art, photography to sculpture, and everything in between, SJ is a space for creative expression with a positive purpose. We believe that art and creative play are fundamental to well-being and can be powerful mechanisms for change.
