So… it’s time to say goodbye.

Apparently, another name for pesticides is plant protection products!

VASL (Voluntary Action South Leicestershire) is a local charity that helps the lives of people in our community.

By the time that you read this, we will be heading into spring! How wonderful is that?

We are in need of some more volunteers! First we would like a few more folk who can deliver your Kibworth & District Chronicle when the current deliverer is on holiday or ill or unavailable. This will be on an ad hoc basis so nothing set in stone, as they say. Contact Marie-Anne Beere on Tel:07990768325 or via email to distribution@kibworthchronicle.com to offer your services.

Please note that from Monday 6 January the X3 service to and from Market Harborough will be visiting the new Wellington Place housing estate (just prior to St. Luke’s Hospital) and accordingly the timetable has been amended. The revised timetable will last until Saturday 5 April. Please check the website before you travel for the revised times – using this link.

Following on from the enormous success of D-Day 80 – 6 June 2024, in which we all commemorated the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France, through the lighting of over one thousand beacons and five hundred lamp lights of peace throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK overseas territories that night, we are now focusing all our efforts on the celebration of the 80th Anniversary of VE Day which marked the end of the war in Europe and WWII as a whole on 8th May 1945, in a similar way.

People across Leicestershire are being asked for their views on a new four-year budget plan.

Good progress is being made with the development work for the Community Hub with the library extension close to completion.

The Trustees are pleased to report that The Well is in a sound position. Thanks in large part to the many volunteers who run the café, shop and foodbank. Without them The Well could not function. There is a real sense of community among our volunteers which we hope contributes to their own wellbeing. We would like to publicly acknowledge how much we value them. And, of course, we’d be delighted to hear from anyone who might like to join our wonderful volunteer team. Just walk into The Well and enquire or email Andy on admin@thewellkibworth.org.
