Here in Cheltenham, there are many local heroes from different walks of life. Steve Smith is an example of that and currently helps The Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is a Christian church and is in 133 different countries around the world, where they also do a lot of community work as well as church […]
Unsung heroes come in all forms, shapes and sizes; you will often pass them daily without a second thought. People dedicating their free time to help other people is something we rarely give enough praise to. Charity shops offer a vast range of items, from a vintage designer jacket to an antique ornament, statistics show […]
There is someone to look up to for everyone, someone to idolise and respect within their community – whether they’re in the spotlight or unsung heroes. The people of Bath Road share their thoughts on who that role model is for them – be it an individual or an organisation. Cheltenham Guardians are a group […]
Who do you talk to when you have no one to talk to? For years, that’s been a question without an answer. Steve Richards, of Gloucestershire Nightline, hopes he can help. The Nightline was founded by Steve in late 2021. He had the idea the previous year, after seeing the effect that the pandemic had […]

Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 Role-playing games are almost always fantasy based. They’re also almost always set in a world that pre-dates our own, containing all kinds of medieval or ancient weaponry that we would only be able to see in museums. Take The Elder Scrolls, Kingdom Come, or Dark Souls for example. In this review, we’ll be […]
Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 Spoiler warning There was a lot of pressure on the producers of this fantasy epic. As an award winning book series already treasured by its numerous fans, they would need to deliver the vision that we all had when reading the trilogy. And did they deliver? For me, they generally did. Whilst not […]
Rating: 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑 What would you expect from the second cheapest Maserati? Italian passion and elegance at a (slightly) lower price? Speed? Beauty? Quality? Well, you’d be wrong. It’s none of those things. The Ghibli was released in 2013 as an attempt for the brand to sell more cars. Immediately, motoring journalists tore it to shreds- they […]
