Dear Readers

Suite 159, 80 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU Jane Accounts/Sales m: 07912 878830 t: 01732 521494 Anna Artwork/Sales m: 07939 248983 t: 01732 795777 info@thelocaloracle.co.uk www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Cut off dates for advertising in the March 2022 editions are: • Maidstone 20th February • Malling 15th February • Tonbridge 20th February

18 years old!! How did that happen? Some of you have moved into the area, got married, had children and possibly organising their weddings in the time we have been in business! Jane’s children have all grown up in this time, we have moved from home to office and home again, not to mention nearly 2 years of Covid that stopped print for a few months. Through thick and thin, we have some extremely loyal advertisers and readers because we are still here. A massive THANK YOU to you all. If you have collected every copy in those 18 years then we have a gift for you; just give us a call. So on with current times and we have some great new advertisers with us. Having been cancelled in 2020 and 2021, the Tonbridge Triathlon is back in May. Anna learned to swim especially for this event so if you fancy a challenge, then why not sign up and see her there. You might even fancy just supporting on the day.....she needs all the help she can get!! You can find all editions online www.thelocaloracle.co.uk and we will also be sharing information on our social media pages which can easily be found.... facebook.com/ thelocaloracle or Twitter.com/thelocaloracle and www. linkedin.com/company/the-local-oracle. Thank you for reading and supporting the local Oracle.

DON’T FORGET TO MENTION THE LOCAL ORACLE

FEATURE PAGE Can you hear me at home? Our world is changing. Services in many industries are becoming quicker and more accessible online than ever before. The hearing aid world is no different; some hearing aids available at Hearing Matters can connect to an app which allows a professional to conduct a basic hearing test and make adjustments to the settings of the hearing aids from their clinic whilst the patient is wearing them at home or at work. It is even possible to detect if a patient has fallen whilst wearing the hearing aids; a notification is immediately sent to a pre-selected next of kin. This remote access service provides obvious benefits to people who are less able or too busy to attend an appointment in a clinic. To compliment this, at Hearing Matters we are aware of the importance of a personalised aftercare service where sometimes there is no substitute for seeing a person face to face. This could be to examine inside someone’s ears, to perform wax removal, or to explain to someone how to use their hearing aids. This is why at Hearing Matters we offer a blended approach. We ask you to attend our clinic, for your initial consultation, and also during the free trial period whilst you adapt to your new hearing aids. Following that, you can have the best of both worlds; you can attend our clinic when it is appropriate, and you can have support at home or at work as needed. Your Hearing Matters. Let us test it and improve it, your way.

For a free hearing test and a free trial of the latest hearing aid technology, or if you require ear wax removal, please contact Mrs Samantha Fairchild MSc at Hearing Matters (Maidstone) Ltd.

THANK YOU! ‘THE AERIAL MAN’

Family business - established 30 years Est. in 1982, I first started working in the local area before mobile phones and the Internet. Having been commissioned to do work for Queen and country, Kent police and working on a number of listed buildings in Kent’s beautiful countryside, advertising back then for me was local courier groups handing out papers and word of mouth because of a good job well done. Having been part of the local Oracle now for 18 years, it leaves me only to admire how much simpler advertising to my local clients can be, thanks to Jane and the team. With the reassurance that all the local businesses are constantly monitored by staff at the local Oracle, you get a real sense of trust from clients the moment you walk in the door. Couldn’t be more happy with the service. Keep up the good work please. Many thanks, Robert Ashley - The Aerial Man - Page 18 t: 01732 883542 or: 01622 871614

Join the KHFC Business Partnership Do you represent a business in Kent that would like to support our local community football club and build relationships with some fantastic people? We created the business partnership in 2019 and now have members from over 40 organisations. This grew throughout lockdown and we now meet on a monthly basis alternating between online zoom sessions and face to face lunches at local venues and offices. The Partnership helps generate much needed funds for the club and came together to sponsor the ‘Jets’ team for players with special education needs (SEN) as-well as generating required funds for the frame football team.
