The Welcome Kitchen returns

Again, dear reader, heartfelt thanks for all your help and support throughout the year.

Once again Home-Start South Leicestershire, based in Market Harborough and helping families with young children across the whole Harborough District, are looking for new volunteers to join their friendly team. The next training course starts in May 2023.

Are you:

Kibworth Easy Riders along with the Fleckney and Kibworth Running Club are organising a fundraising Duathlon for LOROS on Sunday 2 April. Meet 9.30am for a 10am start at Kibworth Cricket Club.

This new prayer space is now open at The Well until the end of April, for a quiet time of reflection with others or on your own. You can use the stone as a meditative tool to be placed into cleansing water. Alternatively, you can take it home as a remembrance of finding your peaceful place

Well Spring has sprung, meteorologically speaking at least. The nights are drawing out and the clocks go forward in a couple of weeks. We’re starting to see the signs of new life as snowdrops, crocus and daffodils pop up and our garden birds start checking out bird boxes for a suitable place to build a nest.

LWH will be holding an Indoor Car Boot Sale in Kibworth Grammar School Hall, LE8 0EW on Saturday 18 March from 10am to 12.45pm FREE ADMISSION. Refreshments available at very competitive prices.

I would like to put a thank you message out please.

As many of you will know, we operate a food bank to support local people that are experiencing food poverty. The demand has increased recently due to the cost-of-living crisis.

Our first meeting of the year was testing the ‘little grey cells’ of members of Illston on the Hill WI. We all enjoyed a quiz, some music, current affairs, musicals, sorting out first letters of villages, tv programmes, flowers and much more.

Our Warm Space, residency at Kibworth Grammar School Hall at 12noon - 2pm on Monday lunchtime is rapidly coming to an end. This will be the second of the eight-week events. The last date for the Welcome Kitchen will be Monday 27 February. Our friend, Karen Bevan from the Co-op, will be providing a Fair Trade chocolate tasting session, as it is ‘Fair Trade Fortnight’.

Our February meeting began with a service in Church followed by a get together in the Church Hall. The meeting was very well attended. After sharing news and notices members listened to a talk by Andy Wright, Operations Manager, The Well.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding their monthly Coffee Morning and Table Top Sale in Kibworth Village Hall from 10am - 12.45pm. Dogs welcome.
