April at Your Local Lincs
For a month that’s associated with showers, April this year starts with lots of lovely bright sunshine. The centre of Sleaford is looking even more radiant with the new mural that has been painted by Monument Gardens, something created by Sheffield based artist Peachzz who incorporated our local heritage and nature in her design. We were there as she and her assistant applied the finishing touches to her work, and before she left she had a chat with us. You’ll have to wait till next month till you see this in the magazine, but in the meantime, you can see a video interview with her now (see below).
But what’s going on this month? Easter lands quite late this year (on the 21st), St George’s Day is on the 23rd, Earth Day on the 22nd, and there’s also World Autism Awareness Day on the 2nd. There are many worthy awareness days these days, and each year we aim to explore ones we haven’t explored before. For World Autism Awareness Day we dropped in on Rainbow Stars in Sleaford and chatted to some of the people that go there. Stephi helped open our eyes and give us some great insight into what the world is like to her as an autistic person. If you like live music, we've got two great competitions for you this month and with rhubarb in season, there's a tasty recipe for a rhubarb crumble. Just some of the regular sections our readers enjoy each month!
It’s usually around this time of year that everyone announces that their rates are going up. Well, just like last year, this month we are not springing that surprise on any of our current or new advertisers. If you’re looking to make a ‘new year’s resolution’ with your business and take the plunge into advertising on our pages, then do get in touch. This new financial year could be the year that your business really takes off as we get it into the 20,850 homes and businesses in our area. We're available on email, telephone, social media, or even in person. So many of our advertisers come back to us to say what a difference their adverts make so let’s make this a happy and prosperous new financial year for you!
Have a great Easter and we’ll see you next time!

Charity in the Community
As your essential community magazine, our community is naturally at our heart, and what is at the heart of every community? Charity.
We've been reflecting on the various campaigns we've supported during our 20 years of producing magazines. There is much need in the world, so it should be no surprise that we have quite a list of charities that have featured on our pages over the years.
But what charity-related endeavours will we find on our pages in our 21st year? Is there something out there going on in our community that you would like us to know about? Whether you're a veteran organisation or an individual starting something new, we'd love to hear from you. Would you like us to give your charity some exposure? We're on the lookout for new philanthropic endeavours in our community and would love to hear about the worthy things going on around us.
