COFFEE MORNING FOR CHRISTIAN AID

CHURCHES Together in Markfield are holding a coffee morning on Saturday, 16th September from 10.00 to 12 o’clock at the Methodist Church.

Members of the four church communities will be working together to provide stalls & refreshments for you to come & enjoy. So please pop in for a chat over coffee & a toasted teacake, buy a cake, have a go on the tombola, & browse & buy at the “white” stall. We are very grateful for the support of the village as we continue to raise money for Christian Aid.

Hello, hello, hello in Bagworth

WE WOULD LIKE to share a special story about a Worthington Brownie at Redgate Farm Animal Sanctuary, Markfield, Leicestershire on 02/07/2023.

Theodora McDonald - aka Teddy - from Worthington Brownie raised £226 for Redgate Farm Animal Sanctuary, Markfield, Leicestershire.

The Sanctuary would like to extend a warm thank you to Teddy for her generous fundraising efforts. She has demonstrated a heart for our community and a passion for animal welfare by raising £226 by selling raffle tickets and selling sweets in just a matter of weeks.

As a result of her hard work and dedication to our cause, we are able to continue providing care and shelter for a range of animals, including cats, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits & Guinea pigs.

We would like to commend the Brownie group for taking it upon themselves to make a difference in the community, and for recognizing the importance of supporting animal welfare. The compassion and empathy they have demonstrated will undoubtedly translate into future acts of kindness and generosity.

We wish the Brownies every success in their future endeavors.

This will show the online diary and reveal the many people who now use the Centre. Bagworth is very lucky to have such a great asset in its midst. We do encourage you to use it to the full.
