The festive edition of your community magazine is now out! Throughout the pages, whatever your age or interest, we think there is a local seasonal event to suit you and get you into the Christmas spirit!
The Willow Brook centre kicks off the party season with their Christmas Jamboree on 29th November, they invite you to join them for an evening of free festive fun – think Santa, funfair rides, glitter tattoos, Christmas crafts and of course mince pies and mulled wine!
We have notices from the local churches with messages of Christmas hope and love as well as the Christmas services they are hosting. If you are alone this Christmas, Little Stoke Baptist Church is again partnering with The Marmalade Trust to provide a Christmas lunch at 12noon.
I appreciate it is an expensive time of year for everyone, but if you are able to support just one local cause to help others less fortunate than ourselves, it will be greatly appreciated. Both the Brightwell and the Children’s Hospice South West are asking for your support this Christmastime.
As a Christmas good turn, please do mention your community magazine when you support the traders who support us and make this magazine possible.
Per our front cover, 2025 is our 20th Anniversary and we are honoured that our very first advertiser has just renewed with us again for the 20th time. So if you are a business looking to promote your services across the local area, let us help! Deadline for the next edition is 9th December 2024.
Enjoy the read and have a wonderful Christmastime!
