www.justgiving.com/fundraising/anna-marshall27 Just like this time every year, the kids will be going back to school this month and lets hope the academic year will be a full year this time and normality resumes for us all. We are not Covid free as a country and some businesses are affected more than others, so please do try and support our advertisers in these strange times. Every advertiser has an entry on our website and many have testimonials from their happy customers. You might like to send in a testimonial too? Just email it over and we will add to their page. A digital copy of each edition can be found on our website and social media pages so if you lose your copy of wish to share it with someone else then please just click on our website - www.thelocaloracle.co.uk.
