Looking ahead to the colder autumn and winter days and the serious problems some families face, we’re so fortunate to have agencies coming into The Well café in Kibworth to help people who are struggling to pay their bills and heat their homes. The Foodbank is another great blessing for people who have hit rock bottom.

At 6:45am on Saturday 2 September and following the success of our previous charity climb up Mount Snowdon in 2021, firefighters from Kibworth station took on the even bigger challenge of climbing the highest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis.

There are some lovely autumn gardens to visit during September and October this year.

I have supported Refuge, a charity supporting women and children who are survivors of domestic abuse since 1982 when I was a social work student and worked in a Women's Aid Refuge.

As I’m writing this, it is unseasonably warm, even though the trees and our gardens are reminding us that autumn is upon us! 

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a Carvery Night and Mini Auction on Thursday 12 October at The Shires Inn, Peatling Parva, LE17 5PU.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a coffee morning and table top sale on Saturday 14 October in Kibworth Village Hall LE8 0LN from 10am until 12.45.

You are invited to the 20^th Coffee Morning

You would think that optical professionals are the last group of people wanting to get mud in their eyes! But, at the end of June, Amy Coleburne and Mark Nevey of Leicestershire based opticians, Edmonds & Slatter set themselves the challenge of completing the notoriously muddy Wolf Run.

Well, he’s done it again, Jeff Pearce organised a charity event in June at The Old Crown in memory of local Fleckney man Mic. It was a great day full of fun, music, fundraising and everything you’d expect from one of Jeff’s events.
