In addition to our independent mortgage service that we offer to all clients, we are also pleased to offer our allinclusive mortgage service to any of our clients selling a property, which is an invaluable service and ensures that you are aware of all the costs involved for any onward property purchase and you are in a position to proceed with your next move as soon as you have an offer on your property. It is very important to us to support local businesses & the local community, we recognise that one of the most important tools available when marketing your property is the use of professional photography. We use the services of local professional photographer Chris Verity who will create that all important first impression and showcase your property at its very best.

As we have said, we are very proud to also support the local community and we are thrilled to announce our recent partnership with Fleetwood Cricket Club where we are now very proud shirt sponsors for the new Women & Girls Team. Lynette’s children have been a part of this fantastic club for a few years now, and when the opportunity arose to sponsor the Fleetwood Ladies Team and help support a club that does so much for not only the youngsters in the area but now expanding this to include the wider community, by developing a ladies team, I was only too pleased to get involved.

5 REASONS TO SHOP LOCAL One unexpected and welcome outcome from the Coronovirus lockdown is the way in which many small businesses have been able to adapt so that they can keep trading. We’ve seen cafes become grocers, restaurants develop collection and take-away services almost overnight, shops develop online e-commerce stores, and salon owners becoming YouTube stars as they share their skills and expertise with ever widening and appreciative audiences.

So here are 5 reasons why shopping local matters, now more than ever.

1 2

Even during times of crisis, the demand to shop can open up new opportunities in many industries. At LINK-MAG we’ve always believed that shopping local plays a vital role, and no matter what our world will look like in the future we should all carry on supporting local enterprise.

LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES ADD CHARACTER TO TOWNS AND VILLAGES A small business or boutique shop adds character to the city or town when you walk or drive by. In a world that has become increasingly dominated by chain stores, a local business’s branding is unique and often quirky, adding something different to your High Street, offering an alternative experience, and bringing a much needed breath of fresh air into areas populated by generic stores and companies.

IT’S BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Shopping local means less mileage and petrol costs for you, which helps reduce CO2 emissions. Plus local shops often stock locally sourced goods which not only supports the local economy but also reduces transport times and costs of the goods, which impacts positively on their carbon footprint. We know its tempting to default to the big chains or to buy online. But shopping locally is usually just as costeffective and convenient, plus you are supporting your local community, rather than putting money in nameless and faceless shareholders’ pockets.

Thank You 23

Doorstep photo diaries capture life in lockdown

0

ver the last few months doorstep photos have provided some of the enduring images of family life during lockdown.

Families, couples and housemates are having socially-distant photographs taken at their front doors in an effort to record these unusual times. Among those following the trend to create snapshots of modern life is local photographer Jessica Isherwood, who has shot up to 110 of these so far. Jessica is one of Lancashire's Family and Wedding photographers and she decided to use her time to document life through a lens from a safe distance (of course) by offering doorstep photographs. 24

Biography I got into photography when I first bought my own DSLR camera when I was 12 years old. A strange thing to want when you're 12, but I had always wanted a big camera like you see all the paparazzi have. Around 10 years later, I'm still enjoying photography as much as I did then. I have graduated from a Higher National Diploma in Photography and since finishing I have taken on many different photograph ventures. I specialise in weddings and lifestyle portraits and love taking natural photographs, capturing what I can see rather than staging the photos. Whether it be a lifestyle shoot photographing you dancing through the woods in the rain, documenting your special wedding day, or maybe capturing your new born baby at home. Whatever the occasion I try and bring my relaxed and distinctive approach.
