Whether you’re an experienced writer or just someone with a keen interest in local goings-on, we welcome all who want to get involved.
What We’re Looking For:
- Curious minds to attend local events, council meetings, school plays, or sports matches and report back.
- Community champions to spotlight village projects, local businesses, and unsung heroes.
- Creative spirits to write features, interviews, or opinion pieces about life in our cotswold village.
- Photographers to help capture the moments that matter.
You don’t need journalism experience just a bit of enthusiasm & some free time.
Whether you can contribute regularly or just now and again, every little helps!
Why Volunteer?
- Help build a stronger, better-informed community.
- Gain new skills and experience (great for students or retirees!).
- See your name in print and your stories making a difference.
