Christmas @ The Well
​
As we come to the end of another year, below are details of what’s on at The Well over the festive season and when we will be closed for the holidays.

We would like to wish all of our supports a very Merry Christmas and a happy and peaceful New Year.
July 2023
The students of Kibworth Mead Academy have raised almost £1000 for The Well! A number of fundraising events were at held at the school on the last day of term including a sponsored walk, cake sale and non-uniform day.
Thank you so much to everyone that got involved. The money raised will be used to provide support services, including our food bank, for the people of Kibworth, Fleckney, Great Glen and surrounding villages.

Wellness Walks
Did you know that getting active outdoors is great for your mental and physical health and wellbeing? The Well, in partnership with Cross Counties PCN, are running a monthly 'well-ness walk' on the first Thursday of each month. It's open to anyone aged 18 or over of any ability. The walk starts at The Well and takes around an hour. On returning to The Well there's an opportunity to find out what support is available from your GP practice and other organisations in the community over refreshments. No need to book - simply turn up."
The Well now hosts a weekly housing advice service. Delivered by Rachael from www.thebridge-eastmidlands.org.uk, you can simply drop-in for a chat on a whole range of issues, such as:
• Homelessness
• Housing Options
• Housing waiting lists, transfers, and exchanges
• Notices and court action
• Rent and mortgage arrears
• Succession and assignment
• Relationship Breakdown
• Disrepair
• Housing Benefit
• Accessing Hardship Funds
• Anti-social behaviour and neighbour disputes
• Harassment and illegal eviction
• Deposits
The drop-in takes place in our cafe at 45 High Street, Kibworth (opposite the post office) every Thursday between 1pm and 4pm

Local Area Coordinators
We’re really pleased to announce that we’ve formed another new partnership to provide support and advice to the residents of Kibworth and surrounding villages.
Local Area Co-ordinators aim to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. This helps to reduce demand on public services (mainly health and social care), preventing people from reaching crisis, and requiring costly care and support services.
What do Local Area Co-ordinators help with?
-
Individuals: thinking about how to make life better and looking at what you have to offer
-
Connecting with others: linking people together and being part of a community
-
Information: finding out about what’s happening in your area and getting the right help from services
-
Taking action: making positive changes
If you would like to find out more, come to their first drop-in session on Thursday 25th August between 10am and 1pm in the Café @ The Well, 45 High Street, Kibworth (opposite the post office) or contact them here: Local area co-ordinators | Leicestershire County Council
