GKRA Newsletters
Our award-winning GKRA Newsletter is distributed to 1,000 households in the Great Kingshill and Cryers Hill area on a quarterly basis. Each printed issue costs over £1000 to produce, which is usually covered by advertising revenue alongside a small grant from the Parish Council. Any shortfall is covered from the proceeds of village events. However, in recent times, many advertisers have switched from printed media to online to spread the word about their businesses and services. The pandemic brought a (temporary) end to our village events, which means dwindling cash reserves to cover the difference. The GKRA has always been very proud of the fact that we do not charge villagers to become members, but we now find ourselves in a position that threatens the ongoing publication of the loss-making newsletter. Therefore, we are appealing to those villagers that are able to make an annual voluntary donation of £5, in order to save it!
