Within Reach is the new name of Bits and Bobs Magazines which have been distributing successfully in North Essex for over 23 years, originally for people to sell and buy secondhand items locally.  However, since our launch in 2001, online selling sites have now taken over the secondhand sales market so we decided that the Bits and Bobs format needed to change with the times!

We recognised that with so many new residents moving into the area that there is a real need for a more community style publication which can help people find general information about What’s On and where to find local tradesmen and local services.  So we restyled the magazine to include interesting and relevant articles and local information where possible.  Within Reach was born!!

We hope you enjoy the new style magazines and also will use this website to find whatever you looking for, that everything is Within Reach!!
