Editor’s Letter

“My heart goes out to all”

Happy New Year to you all from everyone here at the Newcastle Life Magazine!

Let’s hope this year brings at least some kind of normality back into our lives. It’s been a tough almost two years for so many – my heart goes out to all who have been affected by the pandemic in whatever way they have.

We can but forge ahead and look to the future which will hopefully be brighter for all.

Here we have yet another packed edition of the Newcastle Life Magazine – we have everything from a creative exhibition in the town centre to a retiring firefighter; from lots of charity fundraising events and activities to exciting plans for a church within the borough; and a community banding together to plant lots of trees, as well as a message from the area’s member of parliament.

Do you have a story about life in Newcastle which you would like to share with our readers? Please get in touch with me by email at belinda@timesandecho.co.u k. But for now, happy reading!

Until next time – take care!

Belinda
