The Car Scheme, in operation since 1987, was initially run out of Pen Lloyd Library in Market Harborough. We are based in Market Harborough. Residents of 2/3 of Harborough District including Kibworth, Fleckney & surrounding villages fall into our catchment area. Leicestershire County Council currently funds us. There are three members of Transport office staff, Sandy, Ann & Jo. Our phone line is manned Monday – Friday 9am – 2.30pm and you can leave a message at any other time.

GEMS Charity celebrates our 10^th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion we have lots of exciting things planned throughout the year, supported by local businesses and the community.

As I write this, the sun is streaming through the window.  Do we dare hope that spring has sprung? The daffodils are out in the garden at our café and, hopefully, it’ll be warm enough soon for customers to make use of our outdoor area when they visit us.

My name is Samantha Shields, I am the landlady of The Railway Arms. Derek Ward from O Hairdressing Salon and I got together and launched an Easter Egg Appeal for the poorly children in the Leicester Royal Infirmary.

We would like to thank the Capell family for asking for donations to GEMS Charity instead of flowers in memory of Kelvin. We have received the final payment making the total amount £1687.17. This is incredible, and shows how well thought of he was.

Our next Coffee Morning and Table Top Sale in aid of the Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be held on:

On Thursday 3 February, the team from Cross Counties Healthcare PCN held their latest

Pumpkins

The Railway Arms are arranging a three-day celebration that is being organised by Sam Shields, Jeff Pearce, and Derek Ward, with all proceeds going directly to GEMS Charity.
