#LoveSaltash Issue 1 Love Saltash Issue 1 | Page 2

Hello and welcome... ...to the first issue of our new kind of magazine for Saltash… We love our town and we want to celebrate its fantastic community spirit and encourage even more of it. Full of positive and inspiring stories that bring local people and organisations together, our magazine belongs to you and is made by the people of Saltash. At Sleep and Hill Motors, we are proud to have served the motoring community of Saltash for over 25 years, offering quality vehicles for sale and providing a complete car care service. This long standing relationship has been built on a foundation of trust, integrity and a dedication to excellent customer service. Our recent accreditation as a Unipart Car Care Centre means you now also get a 12 month/unlimited mile guarantee. So with Sleep and Hill you get the best of both worlds – a friendly approachable independent garage backed up with the added assurance of a top National Motoring Body. BODY SHOP From a scratch to a major repair, we are approved insurance repairers. We hold the National Craft Certificate for vehicle body-repair. For all your motoring needs – from a bulb to an engine rebuild. Collection and delivery service – courtesy cars available. CONTENTS 5. LET'S GET VOCAL: WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT SALTASH? 6-7. HATS OFF TO... JUNKYARD SKATEPARK We like to shout about the brilliant shops and businesses we are lucky enough to have in our town – they don't sit in the community, they are the community.

We all play a part in keeping our vibrant shops and businesses here by buying goods, products and services from them – it's that simple! CAR SALES Choose from over 50 cars in stock.

SCHOOL REPORT: Awesome Athlete Returns to Brunel School By supporting this magazine all our advertisers, who care deeply about Saltash, are contributing directly to our social enterprise mission… Our advertising revenue, above magazine production costs, pays for us to recruit and train young people (not in education, employment or training) in publishing and enterprise skills to help them to be more ready for the local workplace. We are passionate about keeping money in towns to strengthen the local economy – putting our profits back into the town for the good of the community is a great way for us to achieve this. We have been overwhelmed by the support we’ve had for the launch of this magazine – thank you to every person, shop, organisation and business that has got behind us right from the start. As we grow, there will be an increasing number of opportunities to get involved with our magazine venture. Please contact us to find out more about our work as a social enterprise and how you can be a part of it or just to say hello ([email protected]). We hope you enjoy our first issue – have a fun, safe and cosy Winter and we’ll see you in Spring! MOT TEST CENTRE – while you wait – free re-test Jenny 14-15.
