In the Spotlight

Anke Royal Tunbridge Wells Blog, January 2009

Has the Credit Crunch put the frighteners on you and your spending habits? Are you humming and hawwing over what you can cut back on? Shopping? Eating out? Going out on excursions? Giving to charity? Don't fancy giving up any of these? Well, the good news is that thanks to a new initiative called The Spotlight Book, you CAN laugh in the face of the economy and not cut back on ANY of these things!

Message from Councillor Mike Rusbridge, Mayor of Tunbridge Wells

It is with enthusiasm and excitement that I write in my capacity as Mayor of Tunbridge Wells to fully endorse and support The Spotlight Book. I am very proud to be associated with it and I hope that we will all do what we can to make this a popular and effective fundraiser for schools and charities across the borough.

I think it's a great project. We had 3 people come in to use vouchers from The Spotlight Book in the very first week. The book is helpful for our business and it also helps charities. I like to do what I can to get involved with the community. I bought a book and also bought some for friends and family in Pembury and Rusthall. I'm looking forward to using all the vouchers. Once my wife and daughters get hold of the book they'll probably spend most of them!

Parents are amazed at how quickly they recover the £10 outlay. They are impressed with the range of places they can use vouchers and there’s something for the whole family: Glazy Daisy is really popular for kids’ parties and there’s lots of foodie places for the parents. I’ve bought a book myself and can’t wait to start using it. A quarter of Bidborough School parents bought a book in the first month before they could even use them and word of mouth is spreading the news fast. I would recommend it to other organisations looking to fundraise.

I am keeping track of my savings and am already in profit after 1 voucher as I got £10.20 off a meal at Pizza Hut! I am looking forward to using the vouchers the rest of the year. My son has picked out the Bowlplex voucher for his birthday party and is looking forward to going to Evolution Climbing too.

Leon Moran, Resident, Tunbridge Wells

January's normally quite a tight month but I've already saved over £20 using just 2 vouchers so I've definitely made back what I spent on The Spotlight Book. I'm really looking forward to having meals in places I don't normally go. My brother doesn't live round here but he has got his sights set on coming down to use some of the vouchers as well!
