Village Voice<br />
We produced 6<br />
editions of Village<br />
Voice in 2017,<br />
which is a real<br />
team effort. To<br />
produce our Village<br />
magazine, we rely<br />
on the support of<br />
many people - from<br />
communicating with<br />
other village<br />

collecting and creating copy, to designing and<br />
editing the content, all the time thinking about<br />
what would make an enjoyable and informative<br />
read. Our philosophy and guiding pronciple for<br />
what to include in <strong>VV</strong> is 'by the village, for the<br />
village, of the village'. Our advertising team<br />
liase with advertisers, and collect the income<br />
from advertising- to fund the production of the<br />
magazine. We have regular and occasional<br />
contributors - including from our photographers.<br />
Once the magazine has been printed, our<br />
distribution manager sorts and delivers bundles<br />
of <strong>VV</strong> to our deliverers, who turn out in all<br />
weathers to bring <strong>VV</strong> to your homes. Without<br />
the commitment, time and expertise of our team<br />
we could not achieve the quality and<br />
consistancy of <strong>VV</strong> production.<br />
The Village Pre-school<br />
The start of the school term back in September,<br />
we welcomed a large intake of 2 year olds,<br />
having seen many of our children leave in July<br />
to start ‘big’ school. We have policies and<br />
procedures in place to enable these very young<br />
children to settle in easily and enjoy a<br />
curriculum dedicated specifically to their age<br />
group, and we’re happy to report, they are all<br />
thriving. Our 30 hour per week setting is<br />
working well and has proved to be very popular<br />
with parents of the older children in preparation<br />
for their transition to primary school.<br />
We have managed to secure a partnership<br />
with Tesco and are now part of their ‘FairShare<br />
Scheme’ which allocates unsold but in date<br />
goods to charitable causes – we are eligible for<br />
Bakery and Fruit & Veg. We have also formed a<br />
relationship with the Community Champion at<br />
Tesco Amersham, who has a budget for<br />
Charities and now supplies us with 100 pieces<br />
of fruit every week for our snack table as well<br />
as providing ingredients for cooking. We are<br />
fortunate to have a very active Parents<br />
Committee supporting the pre-school by raising<br />
funds for extra activities such as our end of year<br />
trip to Beale Park, Reading and our Sports Day<br />
party in Ashley Drive Park with a bouncy castle.
