Derek and I would like to thank everybody who contributed to make our Easter Egg Appeal so successful. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of people within the Kibworth community. In particular the children who attend Kibworth Mead Academy, numerous local business owners, and our very kind customers from The Railway Arms and O Hair hairdressers.

Firstly, I wanted to make a small correction to your editorial comment in the April issue of the Kibworth & District Chronicle, and also provide an update about the Ukrainian refugees.

Some Chronicle readers may remember a series of 10 articles on ‘The Challenge of Dementia’ that I submitted in 2018/19.

In November 2021 Kibworth Books launched a fundraising campaign to send new books to children on the wards at the Leicester Royal Infirmary. Kirsty, Children's Book Specialist, launched the campaign following some time in hospital with her children. The bookshop set out with the goal of raising enough money to buy a book for each child in the 130 beds on the wards on Christmas Day.

We wanted to update the village on last Saturday’s Ukraine Appeal Concert in Ashley Church, and to thank everyone for their support and very generous donations. We raised £4326, which has been donated to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.
