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.

Saturday 24 August, 12noon-5pm
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.

It has been a busy time at the Hub just lately. In March, we had our AGM. Martyn, the Chair, reported that conditions remain challenging, mostly due to the costs of utilities and staffing. However, the hall remains well used and we are confident that the future is bright, especially as we continue to develop our relationship with the library.

The Railway, Kibworth, LE8 0LN, will be hosting a Clutter Sale in aid of the Gems Charity on Friday 17 May, 9am until 4pm, and on Saturday 18 May, 10am until 1pm.

National Gardens Scheme May 2024. May is a busy month with 16 gardens opening all over the county.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a coffee morning and table top sale on Saturday 11 May. It will be in Kibworth Village Hall, LE8 0LN, from 10am until 12.45pm.

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!
