Tetbury CONNECT
OLD VALUES RENEWED
It was a rather neat concept, we thought, when we first conceived it over a Whisky Mac one Wednesday evening.
A website focused on the community, on getting to know not just Tetbury but, more importantly, the people in and around Tetbury. Yes, an online one-stop shop for all things Tetbury - of course! Moreover, a website with multiple links to other useful sites but quite different from all of them - with content that doesn't take itself too seriously.
The idea was to help bring people together - people sharing with people about the things that interest them and the things that matter to them. Things from new initiatives in the town - and who is driving them - to what is going on out of town and how it might affect them. Things that simply interest, random things, including in particular things outside the mainstream media.
Speaking of which, we know many people have become doubtful about the objectivity of the mainstream media. This being so, we wanted to rebalance the stories they tell with commentary from what we call the People's Media. Our aim is to publish stories from each and - by doing so - prompt us all to ask searching questions and to think critically about the narratives we hear.
We also thought the site should be truly Community based in a way not seen before - offering the obvious but - going much, much further. Community is about people and so people would be the focus - with a renewed focus being placed on old values.
We decided to name it Tetbury CONNECT.
So here it is. Probably nowhere near the finished article yet, but moving in that direction.
We hope you like it - so far!

...about Pireaus M3
and founders David and Helen.
One of the proudest achievements, in our lives to date, has been improving the life chances of thousands of children in Africa. We did this by delivering 14,000 bicycles to remote schools, giving students better access to their learning.
Today, we are still involved with Africa – working to provide benefits to children through improved education delivery – among other charitable endeavours which drive our passions for life.
After all, we’re all here to help others and to leave something better and lasting behind.
WE WANT YOU TO HAVE YOUR SAY
Because CONNECT is for our Community, focused on the people in our Community, we are prompting everyone to have their say.
With so many changes happening in today's world, few of us can be confident our politicians are properly equipped to manage those changes. We believe it's a time for us all to be more involved in decisions being taken that affect all our lives.
This process begins with us all being more aware of the different narratives circulating today on all the major topics. To this end, CONNECT attempts to share some of those different narratives for people's own questioning and discernment.
Beyond this, it's perhaps a good time for our Community to come together to debate these matters. Similarly, it's a good time to exercise our responsibilities - to ourselves and our children as citizens of this world - by voicing a collective commentary on what it is we desire.
We all know the world is in a state of flux and will be for some time.
And because no one holds the franchise on good ideas
- and certainly not those holding the purse strings or power in parliament - we all have a part to play, every single one of us!
So, what's yours?
