Rotarians and members Graham Thompson and John Addison are planning a fundraising challenge in memory of past members Nick Lacey and Rod Mitchell, who sadly passed away within 24 hours of each other at Loros Hospice last October.
They propose to play golf for 12 hours on Thursday 27th May, starting at 8am, 12pm and 4pm, to raise funds for the hospice, which has lost a huge amount of income during the lockdown due to cancellation of fundraising events.

Sadly the pandemic has had a catastrophic effect for many people, including many readers of the Kibworth Chronicle; loss of jobs and loss of income, loss of family members and friends. It all seems hopeless. And yet, it is being seen by many as a wakeup call and a vital opportunity for us. There is still time to change how we live, for a safer and fairer society and to stop further pandemics.

Many of you, as you drive past the church, will notice that the clocks have stopped on the church tower.

The Well Cafe and Shop reopened on Monday (12 April). It was so lovely to welcome back some old friends and meet a few new ones. We all sat happily in the garden soaking up the sunshine. We are open every weekday from 9.30am to 1pm.

The Big Knit campaign has returned and Age UK Leicestershire & Rutland is calling on the knitters and crocheters to get their knitting needles out again to help raise urgent funds for local older people most in need.

Whether it’s 50p or £50 please help local charities who have struggled during the pandemic. If you don’t wish to take part in a challenge, you can still donate. We have had a great response to the Sunflower challenge but we still have plenty of seeds if you wish to take part. 

Citizens Advice LeicesterShire (CitAL) has helped more than 24,400 people during the past year of the pandemic

Everyone at The Well is excited that the shop and café might be open again in April. The café will be open for take-aways, and customers will also be able to eat and drink in our beautiful garden.

Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland in partnership with Unique Wine Safaris is holding an online Charity Wine Tasting Night and you are invited.
