As Christmas approaches, The Well Kibworth is delighted to be joining forces with Kibworth Books once again for the annual Community Secret Santa appeal – a wonderful local initiative that helps bring a little extra Christmas magic to people and families in our community who may otherwise struggle to afford a gift.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a table top sale on Saturday 14 November in Kibworth Village Hall LE8 0LN from 10 to 12.45pm. There will be a good variety of stalls including homemade wooden good's, craft stalls, handmade cards, jewellery, Tropic skin care products, knitted and crochet goods, including lots of assorted homemade items, jigsaws books, pre loved clothes, raffle and lots more.

On Friday September fourth, 21 golf teams went head to head at Kibworth & Fleckney Rotary Club’s annual charity golf day. It was a shotgun start, so all the teams scattered before they all started from the 18 tees at the same time, 1pm. We had fine weather and the 84 golfers then met at the end for a buffet meal and prize giving.

Making a Will is not something you should do once and then forget about for the rest of your life. Families change. Relationships change. People marry, separate and divorce. Children and grandchildren are born. People buy homes, build businesses and acquire assets. Sadly, people we intended to include in our Wills can also die before us.

Lambros Paphitis - better known as Aggi and previously of Kibworth Fish and Chips – has just finished a brilliant 30-mile sponsored walk for Cancer Research UK during September, raising an amazing £1,871 (including Gift Aid). He’s absolutely delighted by all the support, especially as this was his first ever fundraising event.  

Well, what an amazing event yet again this year? We were so lucky with the weather again which enabled us to set up some tables outside.

We are pleased to announce our winter Welcome Kitchen season will be weekly starting from Monday 26 October. It's from 12-1:30pm at Kibworth Community Hub: £5 per person. This covers a bowl of delicious homemade soup, bread, cakes and a hot cup of tea or coffee.

VASL Community Champions has a ‘new old’ recruit in the form of Hannah, who has moved across after 14 years of supporting unpaid family carers at VASL.

As the Summer holidays draw to a close and we head into Autumn, there is plenty happening at The Well as we look towards the months ahead.

A Macmillan Coffee Morning is to take place on Saturday 26 September between 10am-2pm at Mowsley Village Hall, Main Street Mowsley, Lutterworth LE17 6NT. There will be a cake stall, tombola, hand- crafted wooden items, 3D printed items, hand-painted cards and prints, bring and buy, raffle and games. 

Jane Lacey’s annual charity day raised over £2,280 in two hours. Hundreds of people turned up for tea/coffee, cake and a chat. £1,580 was taken at the event whilst £535 has been paid via the JustGiving page plus £123.75 gift aid. There is still time to give to this great cause. Jane says she will do it all again next year!
