Wishing all our readers a very Merry Christmas

For those News OnTheWight  readers who celebrate it, we wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Over the festive period we’ll be sparing a thought for all those who don’t have anyone to share Christmas with, can’t share Christmas with their families, or who have lost loved ones this year.

A difficult year for many
Our thoughts are also with those who have found this year more of a struggle than usual, as the cost of living crisis continues.

We’re sure you’ll join us in thanking all the many community groups around the Isle of Wight for their efforts in helping to ease the burden for Islanders in need.

We’re slowing down for a week
As usual, over the next week we will be on ‘go slow’. The site will continue to tick over with each day with articles – mainly a variety of podcasts – but the output won’t be to our usual 10-15 items a day, as we take a breather for a few days.

Thank you once again for your continued support.
