Having talked to many of our advertisers, it is great to see business is getting back to normal for many of them. Obviously trades people are a little ahead of the shops, restaurants and beauty businesses but whilst the working environment has changed for the future, we hope everyone will get back to a thriving business again. It is great to see the local support taking place in our High Street shops so let’s keep it going at the same time as being mindful of others and the lengths the businesses have had to go to! 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 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.

My beautiful mum was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia 3 years ago so I signed up to cycle from London to Paris in 2020 to raise money for Alzheimer’s Society. Sadly this event has been cancelled 2 years running now, so when you read this, I will have cycled 320 miles over 4 days instead! From West Malling, around the South Coast to Portsmouth and back. I know it will have tested every part of me but nothing compared to the pain of having dementia. If you have/have had a family member affected by this devastating disease you will want to find a cure too. Please help me to raise awareness and money to help with support and funding for research.
Let’s help take the pain away for so many. x Thank you for all your donations; I am so grateful and know it will make a difference. 07939 248983 anna@thelocaloracle.co.uk All funds are going straight to the Alzheimer’s Society. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/anna-marshall27 20
