For Rutland raises funds for Citizens Advice Rutland (Reg Charity No.1107907) to pay for Specialist Advisers who provide non-medical advice to people of all ages living with long term health conditions in Rutland and the Surrounding Community

For Rutland raises funds for Citizens Advice Rutland (Reg
Charity No 11 07907) to pay for Specialist Advisers who
provide free, confidential, non-medical advice to people of all
ages living with long-term health conditions in Rutland and the
Surrounding Community. Since June 2014 when For Rutland
was formed our Specialist Advisers have returned on average
£1 m per year in grants, debt write-offs and benefit funding.to
those living with long term health conditions such as cancer,
dementia, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and mental illness.
Without this specialist knowledge available on our High Street,
we believe many people would not be able to gain access to
the support they need. By supporting For Rutland, you are
helping to keep this vital service in our community.

SO PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY TO OUR TOMBOLA

About 10am on the day of the Coronation you may have heard the bells in our church “Ring for the King”.  Across the country approximately 38,000 bells were rung in celebration on the day of the Coronation and on days leading up to and following it.  The photographs show the team who rang at Wing; some already having rung at other churches to make up numbers  – North Luffenham, Tinwell, Hambleton and Ketton.  Wing has five bells which are rung regularly for services, celebrations, funerals and weddings.  Practices are held on Tuesday evenings either in Wing or another village.  However, Wing does not have sufficient resident ringers and relies on ringers from other villages to make up numbers.  Bell ringing is a skill requiring team work and practice, which also brings a lot of fun and enjoyment once mastered.  If you would like to know more, learn to ring, have a try, assist with the maintenance of the Wing bells or return to ringing please get in touch with the Tower Captain Jane Peach.

The 2023 RAFA rides raise money to support the RAF community and its veterans.
RAFA Rides offers an on-road event in and around the grounds of Kendrew Barracks, as well as the option for people to take part virtually from wherever they are in the world.

There are 25, 50, 75 & 100 mile options to choose from.

£40 Entry includes:

• Cycling jersey
• Finisher’s medal
• Refreshments on course
• Beer and burger on completion

This year, BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen presenter and RAF Association Ambassador Matt Tebbutt is taking part in the 100-mile ride.
Last year’s RAFA Rides saw 800 cyclists from 11 countries come together to take part in in-person and virtual events. Together, cyclists raised over £100,000 for the Association’s work to provide much-needed help and support to millions of people in the RAF community.
In 2023, the event is even bigger, with international Air Force charities holding their own simultaneous cycling events across the globe.
Cyclists of all abilities are welcome to sign up for the RAF Association’s annual cycling event, RAFA Rides, at Kendrew Barracks, formerly RAF Cottesmore, in Rutland on Saturday 17 June.
All profits from the event will go towards the Association’s vital work of providing help and support to the RAF community.
