Our group continues to meet every third Wednesday of the each month, at Kibworth Cricket Club, from 7.30pm. We have had some lovely sessions over the last few months, from education on nutrition to bringing out our competitive side in table top skittles. Last month we held an ‘evening tea’ and raffle. We had some wonderful cakes and prizes, all kindly donated by members and businesses in the community. The money from the evening was a marvellous £345 which is on its way to LOROS hospice.

As of 2024 there are estimated to be nearly a million folk living with dementia in the UK, projected to be 1.4 million by 2040. That equates to 7000 new diagnoses a month. It currently takes six months, after GP referral, to get a diagnosis. As many will know this is a debilitating, isolating disease, affecting not only the sufferer but the carers and family around them.

Will be holding a table top sale on Saturday 12 July in Kibworth Village Hall, LE8 0LN, 10am - 12.45pm.

I was shown a packet of coffee produced by a small family coffee producing business, declaring their four commitments to help their farmers. They buy directly from the farmers; they help their farmers to improve their coffee, some of it meeting Soil Association organic standards. The last two commitments are to improve farmers’ homes and provide health and educational facilities. So why my hesitation about it? And why are they using the system called Enveritas?
