Welcome to the October edition of Villages Mag! We’re excited to bring you another issue filled with content that celebrates and supports our wonderful community. Every month, we aim to offer valuable information, stories, and resources that reflect the vibrant life of our local area.
As a small family-run business, we work hard to balance the costs of printing and delivering the magazine with our desire to support local initiatives. Each year, we’re proud to donate approximately £20,000 worth of advertising space to promote community events, groups, and activities that make a real difference. We do our best to highlight as many initiatives as possible, but we rely on your input to keep us informed about what’s happening. If you’re involved in something that benefits the community—whether it’s a fundraiser, social event, or special project—please don’t hesitate to get in touch. If we can, we’ll gladly feature it in an upcoming issue.
We’re committed to helping local causes thrive, but we also acknowledge that we’re not perfect. We might not always get everything right, but we always try our best to serve the community in the way we know how. Your feedback and contributions are what help us improve and keep moving forward.
In addition to our support for local initiatives, each edition of Villages Mag features a dedicated charity. For the past two years, we’ve proudly supported Bridging the Gap, but we’re excited to announce that we’ll be choosing a new charity soon. If you know of a charity that would be a good fit, please let us know—we’d love to consider them as our next charity partner.
Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we look forward to continuing to support this incredible community together.
