The August issues have landed and are currently being delivered. 💫 We've got a few treats lined up this month including practical ways to boost your mood daily – all in line with our ethos of positivity, inspiration and finding silver linings.

Talking of positivity, a quick reminder to think about someone you know in the community who deserves 'Community Hero' or 'Business Personality of The Year' recognition. A Community Hero could be a teacher, an NHS worker, a friend or colleague who gives up their time to help others or someone who just goes 'above and beyond' to help their community. Please think about nominating them and let them know that their efforts are appreciated.

Enjoy the latest issues – write to us for the chance to win a £15 drinks voucher at The Landing Hotel, plus our latest blog post - The Positive Side of Printing (and why we're proud to put ink to paper) is now

Until next month, enjoy the read!

LIFE IN BROMLEY

LIFE IN ORPINGTON

LIFE IN BECKENHAM

Shopping local is like giving your community a big hug. It keeps the High Street buzzing, supports local businesses and ensures your hard-earned cash stay close to home.

Plus, you never know when you might stumble upon that hidden gem of a shop or business. So why not be a local hero and spend your cash locally – and remember…

If you contact or use any of our advertisers, please mention that you saw them in life in Bromley, life in Northampton or life in Beckenham magazines first (it helps support us too!)

Want to get involved?

>>> Nominate a local hero  Who deserves to be recognised? Maybe it's someone who helps others or gives their time to make the community a better place. Let's put them on a pedestal and let them be appreciated.

>>> Give someone a 'Big Shout Out'  Say thank you to someone to show your appreciation. It could be a family member, neighbour or friend. We'll publish your 'thank you' message on our letters page. 

>>> Write a short story or 'Final Thought' Fancy yourself as a creative writer? Or perhaps you want to raise awareness of your hobby or a local cause? Now's your chance! The word count is 650 and we'll need a picture of you too.
