Welcome to the Village Link website. We’re a small not for profit organisation staffed by volunteers and cannot justify the expense of an SSL certificate. This certificate is what changes a web address from http to https. Google will soon change how they label sites; instead of labelling sites with a certificate as secure they will label sites without one as insecure. We keep this site as secure as we can and is as secure as it ever has been. Please do not be put off!

Take a little time to browse our pages and discover what goes on where and when in our area. Within our pages you can also find out who does what locally. If you would like to contribute anything to any of our pages, including your favourite picture from where you live in our area, please follow the links on the Contact Us page. We would love to carry all the info for your local club or association and best of all, it’s all for free!

The map on the left is fully navigable plus you can zoom in and out by using the controls in the top left corner and if you view the larger map you can enter street view by dragging the little yellow person onto the map to where you want to view and go for a virtual walk around our streets and lanes.

COTTESBROOKE RIDING FOR

THE DISABLED ASSOCIATION

RDA has been in existence for more than 40 years, its ponies providing therapy, achievement and enjoyment to those of all ages with disabilities. There are five groups within Cottesbrooke’s RDA, an adult one at Clipston on a Monday (April to October), and four for children at Holdenby on Mondays and Thursdays after school, from after the Easter holidays until the Autumn half term. This is rewarding and fulfilling for riders and also the volunteers, who are either experienced in horsemanship, or those who want to help adults or children and have little horse knowledge.

Can you help for an hour a week in the Summer?

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT VOLUNTEERING please contact Vanessa Barrow on 07977 544156 or email

On Saturday the 22nd March. Saxon Spires Practice launched a Walk the Doc Fundraising Event for Cancer Research at the Park Run in Brixworth Country Park. The fundraising was to support one of their GP’s Dr Susie Northover.  Dr Northover has been forced to retire after being diagnosed with a rare and incurable brain tumor.

Large numbers of walkers and runners turned up on a dry but cool Saturday morning. Saxon Spires Patient Participation Group manned a cake stall which was laden with donated cakes. They proved to be popular and a bucket collection on the stall raised an amazing £490.

Dr Northover completed the 5K course supported by members of the Practice Staff.

She crossed the finishing line with a wave and a broad smile on her face. The final total raised to date on the Just Giving Page. including Gift Aid is £6,395.76. A fitting tribute to a much loved GP.
