Andrew Brown: The Voice of Southport
Many know the words behind the man, but Southport’s Andrew Brown is more than just the stories he shares with his
80,000 followers. He is the conductor of Southport’s passion—championing small businesses, charity events, and
individuals, uncovering the hidden gems that make this town shine. This hardworking family man hasn’t missed a trick since starting a Facebook group at the start of the pandemic.
Rather than allow Southport to become a media desert Andrew took matters into his own hands. Rather than letting the
town loose its voice he started creating a space where news could be shared, businesses could be supported, and
people could come together. No crime stories. No scandal. No clickbait. Just real stories about real people doing extraordinary things.
As the platform grew, it became evident that the town was eager for something more. That’s when Andrew launched his
own website, which now reaches over 71,000 people, with his Facebook group boasting over 45,000 members. But it’s
not just about the numbers—it’s about the impact. The platform has become a collaborative effort with the town itself, where locals generate news, contribute guest blogs, and engage in meaningful discussions. Negativity is filtered out, and the focus is on showcasing the best of Southport.
Andrew doesn’t just report on Southport; he actively shapes it. His work behind the scenes has been instrumental in
everything from fundraising efforts to crisis response. During Covid, his platform became a vital source of real
news—how to get help, what the guidelines were, and where support could be found.
More Than News—A Responsibility
to Support
Through Southport Strong, he has directed and organized countless fundraising initiatives, working alongside
organizations like Queenscourt Hospice. Whether it’s helping a community grieve, rallying support for local businesses, or
bringing people together for a cause, Andrew is always at the forefront, ensuring no one is left behind.
A Champion for Southport’s Future
Andrew’s influence extends beyond the digital space. He has been a driving force behind some of the town’s most celebrated
events, including Sefton Pride, the Southport Arts Festival, and the Armed Forces Festival. These aren’t just events—they are moments that bring people together, foster inclusion,
and celebrate the town’s diverse culture. His dedication to Southport extends to its very streets. He was instrumental in the Lord Street Bloom project, ensuring the town’s beauty is preserved and projected outward. His efforts don’t stop at the town’s borders— he actively sends Southport’s success stories
to regional news outlets. His goal? To remind the wider region that Southport is not just a destination but a community worth investing in.
“It’s Only As Good As You Make It”
For Andrew, Southport is more than just a town—it’s a responsibility. His philosophy is simple: it’s only as good as the effort we put into it. He doesn’t just talk about change; he makes it happen. Through his work, he has given Southport a voice, a
platform, and a renewed sense of pride. In a world where negativity and division often dominate headlines, Andrew Brown
has built something different—a space where people lift each other up, where businesses thrive, and where community
means everything. His unwavering belief in Southport’s potential continues to inspire, proving that one person’s passion can truly
change a town.
