This is certainly true when it comes to my wonderful, brave daughter Rosie. Rosie has moderate learning difficulties and generalised anxiety. Originally from Kibworth, she now lives in supported living in Market Harborough.

Belated Happy New Year and what a year this will be for Kibworth Ladies Choir! We are well underway rehearsing for our 10th Anniversary concert to be held this summer. Ten years – where has that time gone?
