Feeling the love with Wickford Town News
It’s safe to say 2023 is in full swing so here I am sat hoping everyone has had a great start to the year and wondering how many of us have managed to keep up with our new year’s resolutions?
One of my personal resolutions this year was to love more across all aspects of my life, whether in making memories with friends and family, in the working relationships I hold or to passing strangers in the street, if we all love more and choose kindness and compassion then the world surely becomes a better place, and that’s something we could only wish for!
On the topic of love, there is no better time to revel in love than during the month of love that is February. In this issue we have some simple recipes which you can try out with a loved one, a self-care checklist to remind you all to look after yourselves not just now but always, plus the latest news and events from some fantastic local clubs and groups!
Don’t forget, as well as being available to read online, 12,000 copies are also printed and delivered every month through the doors of homes in the community.
As you read this, we are preparing the March edition of our magazine, for any article submissions, and reader comments please contact us on the email below. Until next time, happy reading!

Our thanks go out to all of the fantastic local businesses for supporting Wickford Town News by advertising.
“In England’s green and pleasant land one often sees a merry band of Wombles dressed as humankind: their goal, each scrap of trash to find. They scour the parks and verges green, determined that the land pristine be safe and litter-free for all, for Essex creatures great and small.” The beautiful poem above was written by Tony, one of the regular pickers from Wickford Wombles, both solo as one half of their #Boysclub duo and a valued group member. Tony picks up a colossal amount of other people’s discarded rubbish, as do an amazing team of Wickford Wombles who care enough to make things better. We can all help by getting our own rubbish into a bin or picking up other people’s or the debris left on a breezy bin day. Just outside our own houses even. The Wickford Wombles find many a small rodent drowned in a discarded bottle, how sad that our thoughtless actions can impact innocent little lives. It’s really an easy solution. Bin it. Recycle where possible and be responsible with the litter we create. Check them out on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter or drop them an email at WickfordWombles@gmail.com
And be the change you want to see.
