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?

  1. Help build a stronger, better-informed community.
  2. Gain new skills and experience (great for students or retirees!).
  3. See your name in print and your stories making a difference.

If you’re interested or have questions, please get in touch with Sue or Darren at info@bamptonbeam.co.uk
