Sadly we are getting to find out that Dementia of some kind will affect the majority of us or those close to us so Anna is riding the Prudential Ride London 46 to raise money for Dementia UK. If you would like to support this charity you can donate to the following link. Any amount would be really appreciated. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/AnnaMarshall20 Just a reminder that all advertisers have a category box at the back of the publication for quick reference and they can also be found on our website. There is limited space in the printed advert but some advertisers have added additional information on their webpage including before and after images to show their services, testimonials or a full list of services. All editions can be found on the website each month if you lose your copy or wish to share with someone else www.thelocaloracle.co.uk. We will be also be sharing information on our social media pages which can easily be found.... facebook.com/thelocaloracle or Twitter.com/ thelocaloracle. We look forward to hearing your feedback.
