All you need is an hour during one of the three days, 24, 25 and 26 January.

Market Harborough based children and families’ charity, Home-Start South Leicestershire, launched their annual Snowdrop Appeal this month. The appeal aims to lift spirits and raise hope, using the snowdrop as a metaphor to represent challenges faced by families during the long winter months. The strength and resilience shown by this humble flower, leads to growth and positive change under the most adverse of conditions. The idea is simple: Photograph snowdrops whilst out and about and send to naomi@home-startsouthleics.org.uk or via www.facebook/homestartsl to display on the charity’s social media channels. Each photo is entered into a prize draw, and the winner will be picked at random on Saturday 1 March. This year’s prizes have been donated by Palmer’s Garden Centre, Langton Greenhouse and Garden Centre and Lamport Hall. The fundraising target is £1000, with a focus on supporting the most vulnerable families, experiencing extreme financial hardship.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a table top sale on Saturday 8 Febuary in Kibworth Village Hall LE8 0LN from 10am to 12.45.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding an Indoor Car Boot Sale in the Kibworth Community Hub, School Road LE8 0EW Kibworth, on Saturday 15 March from 10am until 1.45pm.

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.

The VASL Car Scheme has been operating since 1987 in Market Harborough and covers two-thirds of Harborough District. The scheme is for anyone who is elderly, disabled, rurally isolated, has no transport of their own or has difficulty accessing public transport. Due to a shortage of drivers, we are prioritising health and hospital appointments.
