Launched at the end of 2021, with the first print issue publishing in March 2022, 2025 marks the fourth year The Three Villages has been active!

So, what have we achieved?

In the last three years, we have published 12 issues (with Issue 13, March 2025 on its way very shortly!) filled with content focused on our three villages. We have had interviews with locals; featured local businesses in our Business Spotlights; focused on the vital work of local charities; heard some inspiring stories and updates from our parish councils, schools and community groups; discovered some fascinating local history; held writing and art competitions to engage with our resident creatives, especially within our schools; and our covers have showcased some stunning images from local photographers and artist of all ages/walks of life. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

Our Facebook page, website and News & Events Blog have gone from strength-to-strength as our reach continues to increase every month. Our highest number of views in a month was 2818 (November 2023). We see people following our page from other parts of the world as they want to stay connected to home. Our average month sees 650 people checking out our website to see what we have going on in the three villages. It’s the place to go for all the latest news and up-to-date information, so if you haven’t done so already do check out our website, follow/like our Facebook page and subscribe to our News & Events Blog (see below for details).

What do we have planned moving forward?

Many of you were kind enough to complete our recent Future Plans Survey. It gave us a really good idea of what people liked about our offering and areas that we need to improve. We got some brilliant comments too, so thank you to those that took the time to complete it. You can see a summary from our results here in the image below…

At the end of 2024, we sat down and made some exciting plans for 2025. So what are they?

• From March 2025 onwards our print magazine will be FREE!
• We are increasing our print run by 100% to increase our distribution
• We are finding more ways to reach out to those that might not be able to get out and collect a copy of the print magazine: you can now call/text for a copy
• We have welcomed two new members to our team, bringing fresh ideas and experience

Across our print and online formats, we have worked hard to build community as we share local news and information, showcase local talent and support local businesses. We hope that you have enjoyed the journey as much as we have! Thank you for your continued support.
