Market Harborough Building Society has committed £1 million to local good causes in the past three years, with funding already delivered and further investment in its Charitable Foundation to support future impact.

It is noted that LOROS are one of four beneficiaries along with the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, Royal Anglian Regiment Charity and Pancreatic Cancer UK of an Armed Force Day extravaganza which will take place on Saturday 27 June at Hallaton Road, Medbourne, LE 16 8DR from 10am onwards.

I thought you'd like to know the total made at the clutter sale was £1500.47 which was brilliant. It just tops off our last few weeks, as we were honoured to be invited to the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. This was a special occasion for both ourselves and GEMS charity.

will be holding a table-top sale on Saturday 13 June in Kibworth Village Hall LE8 0LN. From 10am - 12.45. There will be a good variety of stalls including home-made wooden goods, craft stalls, hand-made cards, jewellery, knitted and crochet goods, including lots of assorted home-made items, jigsaws, books, pre-loved clothes, a raffle and lots more.

Twenty years ago in January 2006, a founder shared her vision of praying for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the whole of Lent at a local service. This crazy idea sparked a group of people from both churches in Kibworth to work towards making it a reality. After 40 days, it became clear that the vision couldn’t end there. Five of the 13 people had the same vision of a permanent place in Kibworth. Aa place of prayer plus a coffee shop, a safe place for young and old. Properties became available, but which one was the right one? Confirmation came through the revelation that there was a well in the garden – hence the name The Well.

Did you know that there are up to four million new books published each year? That would be a seriously large “to be read” pile! How on earth do you decide what to read next?
