Pulling Bows For Community Hub
Massive thank you to everyone at Leicester Ancient Order of Foresters Archery Club who ran a Dawn till Dusk event last Saturday 17th June to support the community hub. It was a fantastic day, seeing so many people dress up for the occasion. They raised amazing grand total of £415 for Elliott Hall.
We can not thank you all enough for supporting us and the local community we support.

Asda Foundation supports Elliott Hall. Youth & Community Building.
I was thrilled to visit Elliott Hall. Youth & Community Building with our store manager Geoff and present them with an Asda Foundation Spaces & Places grant for £22,300.
The Asda Foundation recently surprised 31 different community groups across the UK with the news their grant had been successful including Elliott Hall.The grants totalling to over £600,000 range between £10,000 and £25,000 with the aim of improving community spaces in local communities across the UK. The funding will go towards replacing their old windows for new, more energy efficient one, helping to keep the heat in and make bills more affordable. Elliott Hall was opened in 2017 by Rob,Ruth & Carl who wanted to give something back to the community. It's a safe warm haven for anyone in the community to drop in, have a cuppa and a chat and join one of the many groups on offer. Everyone is welcome.

Talk To The Council
Face to face appointments with Oadby & Wigston council will be introduced in South Wigston.
Oadby & Wigston Borough Council (OWBC) customers will soon be able to request face to face appointments in either Oadby, Wigston or South Wigston.
The opportunity to book appointments comes as the council looks to enhance its customer service offer after listening to residents that completed a customer experience consultation at the end of 2022.
One of the key findings was that while the majority of customers prefer to contact the council by phone, email or by using the website, there is still a need to meet some customers face to face. From Monday 5 June, customers will be able to book appointments by telephone and then attend their allotted slot at the following locations:
Elliott Hall, South Wigston on Tuesdays
between 9 am and 12 pm
Trinity Methodist Church, Oadby on Wednesdays
between 10 am and 1 pm
King’s Centre, Wigston on Thursdays
between 1 pm and 4 pm.
Visitors to the council’s appointment hubs must have a pre-booked appointment.
These can be made by calling the council’s customer service team on 0116 2888961.
