Let's relaunch "Window on Wallingford"!

Aim

Volunteers are relaunching Window on Wallingford - the town's free community magazine

“Window on Wallingford” has been a much-loved free community magazine at the heart of the town since 1962. Sadly, volunteer support had dwindled over recent years, until the responsibility had fallen on a single person to carry the weight of managing production, publication and distribution of the magazine.  Due to the unsustainable operating model, publication of WoW ceased in February 2026. 

Well, lately a new group of enthusiastic locals with varied skills and expertise have been meeting at Marceline Community Interest Boutique, which has become a welcoming hub for many brainstorming sessions over homemade biscuits. Learning from previous volunteers who managed the magazine for a number of years, we have been planning and plotting to bring this free community magazine back with a vibrant new look and feel. 

Whether it’s news and updates from our many fantastic community bodies and organisations, stories about the fascinating people of Wallingford, the latest from our town, district, and county councils, or what’s-ons for all that’s happening, WoW will be covering it.  

“We are not short on inspiration living in a town with so much going on and so many aspects of life to highlight, and are all energised by the prospect of once again seeing Window on Wallingford hot off the press and informing everyone. Plus, we have our mascot, Wowly, for people to keep an eye out for!”

However a magazine can’t materialise from enthusiasm alone, so we started this campaign to raise £1,500 for the estimated production costs of the relaunch issue. This crowdfunder is run under the wing of Wallingford for All CIC for full accountability. 

Any contribution, big or small, is hugely appreciated to get this issue off the ground!

You are more than welcome to contact the team at [email protected] or pop in to Marceline Boutique on St Mary’s Street with ideas and suggestions.

Thank you for your support.
