This has been a hard year for many people and there are families in the local area that are struggling. 

Kerry Turnbull, VASL (Voluntary Action South Leicestershire) Support for Carers Service Manager, is very pleased to announce that a Carers Passport has been launched across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

We are a charity  supporting St Wilfrid’s Church. Maintaining, preserving and restoring our 13th century church is a never ending task.

The Rotary Club of Kibworth and Fleckney, like so many other charitable organisations, has a real challenge to raise funds this year, when all our normal fund-raising activities have been curtailed, due to COVID.

Well, 2020 certainly hasn’t been the year for travel but I think we’ve all discovered somewhere new while we’ve stayed closer to home.

Delivering books around the village, we definitely found many previously untrodden paths!

Now that the hedgehog has been listed as vulnerable to extinction in the UK, we are calling on the Government to move hedgehogs to Schedule 5 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 to allow them greater protection.
