Can I ask a favour?

Hello Sheppertonian 👋

No listings today, just a quick note from me.

When I started The Sheppertonian, I wanted to gather up everything going on around here and put it in one place. These days that means:

  • 📅 The Weekly: what's on, what's new and who's who, every Thursday
  • 🎙️ The Podcast: Shepperton's stories, told by the people who live here
  • 🤝 The Directories: community groups, charities, support services, and local businesses

It's all free for everyone, and it always will be.

Making it takes money and a lot of hours. Local businesses cover part of that through the Business Club, and I cover the rest.

💚
Would you become a Community Supporter? It's £5 a month, or £50 a year, which is less than £1 a week. There are no perks. Everyone gets the same Sheppertonian, kept going by the people who read it.

My aim: 20 supporters by Christmas. That would cover some of the running costs. I'll share the count in the Weekly every Thursday so you can see how we're getting on.

Rather give a one-off amount? You can give once here, whatever feels right.

Not the right time? No problem at all. Forwarding the Weekly to a neighbour, or telling someone who's just moved here about it, helps more than you'd think.

Thanks for reading, as always.

Gareth
