What a support the Old Hospital Hub is proving to be to the local community. From the pay-it-forward scheme, Family Tea Club (which includes trips out for children) to the new plans for the allotment and Community Fitness Centre. Well done to all the volunteers and supporters of this great community asset.
Southwold recently had a reassuring visit from members of Suffolk Constabulary, a great way to engage with local residents. Sadly, many crimes come via telephone or computer with various scams. Citizens advice have some very good tips and advice on page 21. From my many years working for a high street bank I know the negative impact these crimes have, especially psychologically. Please don’t feel embarrassed if you have been caught out, it’s not your fault – these people’s tactics are very sophisticated. They prey on the vulnerable and seem to lack a conscience so be sure to report any worries you may have!
In this job I am generally working a month ahead so much as I hate mentioning Christmas this early (I’m writing this in October), it is a necessity especially when members of our community have gone to the trouble of organising Southwold’s spectacular ‘Light up Southwold’ event, with stalls, street food and entertainment, not to mention local shops and cafés embracing the theme with Panto costumes for staff. I’m sure this will be a fantastic event, bringing people together and supporting local businesses! Please get in touch if you have anything to share with our readers or if you have a festive event coming up why not consider increasing your footfall by placing an advert in the Tide Collection? I would love to hear from you, email me at: lou@ tidecollection.com
