Perhaps you’ve received an unwanted gift for Christmas or you’re looking to declutter ready for a fresh start to 2025?

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.

Happy New Year! We hope you had a nice Christmas.

Due to a shortage of drivers, we are prioritising health and hospital appointments.
