Smeeton Westerby Village Hall

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a Christmas table top sale and coffee morning on Saturday 9 December in Kibworth Village Hall LE8 0LN from 10am until 12.45.

The Well is a charity set up some years ago by St Wilfrid’s and the Methodist Churches to help meet the needs of people in the village. It began with a small café and pre-loved clothes shop. Expanded since to include a food bank and to provide or to signpost people, irrespective of their colour, sexual orientation or religious belief, to any advice or assistance they might need.

In this month's article, the focus is on our food bank. For those of you that don’t know, our food bank ‘popped-up’ during the first lockdown of the pandemic. Remember that?! 

It’s been a very busy time out in the fields as farmers work all hours to bring in the harvest, for which we give thanks. Apparently, it’s a very good year for pumpkins due to the wet summer. Every cloud...?

I have just hosted my 20^th coffee morning for the above charity where £847 was raised, which is new record for Mowsley.  This takes the total raised from 2004 to the present to just over £9,000.  However, I feel it is now time to hand over the organisation of this annual event to someone else.

By the time this issue goes to print, we will have enjoyed our Harvest Quiz night. With a tasty supper, followed by delicious homemade desserts and then a fun quiz, this will surely have been the recipe for a great night out.
