There are lots of great things happening in our communities that we would like to showcase. Check out some of these projects and examples below.
Autism Friendly Kibworth
Autism Friendly Kibworth is part of a new initiative, community lead, supported by Leicestershire County Council, called Friendly Communities of Leicestershire. Friendly Communities of Leicestershire is an approach which aims to facilitate and support communities to be resilient and enable places where any individual can feel welcome, supported, and safe and integrated wherever they live in Leicestershire.
Community Volunteering Action (COVA)
The COVA project is currently running in four streets in Barwell with the aim of supporting local residents to bring forward their own ideas and suggestions for improving their community.
Desford Good Neighbour Scheme
The scheme provides a service to the villages of Desford, Botcheston, Newtown Unthank and Kirby Grange.
Local people are supported in a variety of ways like shopping, gardening, walking the dog, a lift to a hospital/doctors appointment. Although small tasks they can make a big different to someone life.
