In landlocked Leicestershire it seems strange to be writing about the RNLI. This volunteer organisation not only looks after our shoreline it also often oversees some of our inland lakes and water holes. There are 40,000 water holes. Saddington Reservoir is just one.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital held a table top sale on Saturday 8 June, in Kibworth Village Hall, LE8 0LN, from 10am until 12.45pm. Sales will also be held on Saturday 10 August, Saturday 14 September, Saturday 12 October and Saturday 9 November.

And so, the summer is upon us, meteorologically speaking at least!

We'd like to let the good folk know that we have purchased and installed an Automatic External Defibrillator here at The Well.

The Leicestershire Historic Churches Trust is encouraging people to sign up to take part in Ride+Stride, the annual fundraising event that helps raise money for repairs and improvements to historic churches, chapels and meeting houses throughout Leicester and Leicestershire.

Charity Fundraiser for Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a coffee morning and table top sale on Saturday 8 June in Kibworth Village Hall, LE8 0LN, from 10am until 12.45pm.

Following the success of the Leicester Comedy Festival Event in February at the Kibworth Community Hub, the Kibworth & Fleckney Rotary Club was able to donate over £1500 to the Leicester Musical Memory Box (LMMB). 

We reported in the March edition of the Chronicle that we had reached our current target to extend and refurbish the chemotherapy unit at the LRI, thanks to all the support we have locally, and that our fundraising to make the patients more comfortable during their cancer treatment would continue.

Kibworth resident Shellie Barron writes, I am taking part in a sponsored walk called TREK26 to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society in memory of my nan, Olive, after losing her last year to dementia. This is going to take place on Saturday 1 June in the Lake District as this was my nan’s favourite place to visit. The walk around Ullswater will consist of 26.1 miles with an elevation gain of 3,172 ft. Anyone who knows me knows I am not one to walk so this will definitely be a challenge!
