Another Well-being Event planned – March 29th

FOLLOWING THE HUGELY successful Well-being Events held at the Ex-Servicemen’s Club, Groby and in Anstey, Bradgate Rotary are organising an Easter Event on Wednesday 29th March at the Activity Centre at Ulverscroft Manor.

The afternoon is free to anyone from the Bradgate area (Groby, Glenfield, Ratby, Markfield, Newtown Linford and Anstey areas). The purpose of these afternoons is to help the many vulnerable adults and people sheltering to enjoy an afternoon filled with entertainment and activity to help combat loneliness.

The Easter Event will feature the local acoustic musicians, John Montague and Steve Convey, who will play and sing well-known songs, including a selection of Neil Diamond covers. This Acoustic Duo are back by popular demand and places will fill very fast.

The popular prize bingo, raffle and fun quiz will keep everyone entertained for the afternoon. Starting at 2pm and finishing by 5pm, there will be a few Easter surprises plus tea and cake.

To book a place for the afternoon please call or text Bradgate Rotary on 07851 796798.

• A FURTHER WELL-BEING EVENT is also planned for Thursday 8th June in Glenfield and will again be open to anyone throughout the Bradgate villages.

Rotary helping to eradicate Polio

FOROVER 35 YEARS, Rotary and its members have been committed to fighting to eradicate polio across the world.

The Purple4Polio activities are to raise funds and awareness for End Polio Now, Rotary’s global campaign. You may have seen the purple crocuses that Bradgate Rotary planted to raise awareness throughout sites in Groby, as well as Markfield memorial stone and Ratby library.

Thanks to Rotary, and the support of our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, there are now just two countries classed as endemic with Type 1 remaining in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
