To mark His Majesty The King’s Coronation thousands of organisations across the country are getting together to give us all the chance to help out in our own local communities. The objective of The Big Help Out is to raise awareness of volunteering throughout the UK and provide opportunities for people to experience volunteering and make a difference in their communities.

The 1st Kibworth Scout Group is teaming up to help St Wilfrid's Church have a Big Clear & Tidy on Bank Holiday Monday 8 May from 10am - 12 noon. The scouts have very kindly offered to organise tea and biscuits in the Church Hall, and St Wilfrid's will provide bin bags and washing facilities; it would be helpful if volunteers can bring their own gloves to save using disposables.

We will be focusing on:
clearing an area inside the church in preparation for our proposed disabled access
cutting back and clearing overgrown shrubs in the churchyard
clearing clutter from behind the hall
general cleaning in the church and hall
We would also welcome a couple of volunteers to bring cars and be willing to do some tip runs, which will be much easier now that we have our Kibworth tip open again!

Everyone is welcome to join in; find out more about volunteering at Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, and how to get involved at St Wilfrid's. For more information please contact Joy at [email protected] or Sam at [email protected].

Please do come along and make a difference in your local community!
