It is admittedly with an immense sense of achievement that I look at the front cover featuring some of the most recent images that have adorned Village Connect over the past ten years. When the very first edition was launched in April 2005, a 36-page publication distributed to 2,000 homes in 16 villages, the main objective was, as it is now, to be a free, high-quality notice board for village charities to promote their fundraising events and to encourage us to support each other. At the same time, Village Connect became a springboard to local businesses for advertising goods and services with a view to strengthen the economy within our community, as well as a welcome outlet for cultural and charitable organisations, often with severe budget restraints, to obtain free publicity to keep them going.
