FOLLOWING ON from Joshua winning the Lord Lieutenant’s Person of the Year 2023, Joshua Bailey has only excelled being personally recognised by His Majesty the King, Prince of Wales, Martin Clunes, Houses of Commons, Local MP, Houses of Parliament and the County High Sheriff. Recently he has become an ambassador for “Winston Wish” charity helping people between the age of 5 years old up to the age of 25 to overcome their grief and loss of losing a loved one. He has his story published on their website which has been described as “compelling”. He is also an ambassador and a fundraiser now with his brother for the “Air Ambulance” organising his first 3 Christmas events in December to be held at the Nailstone Educational Centre. Joshua’s biggest achievement to date, he was invited to Westminster Abbey on 8th December to the televised Carol Service representing Leicestershire, Rutland and Warwickshire personally invited by “The Princess Of Wales”. The Lord Lieutenant Mr Tim Cox of Warwickshire had heard about Joshua’s achievements and personally chose him to represent the county. Joshua is a truly inspirational young man who has made a huge difference in his local community, he continues to Volunteer on the “Nailstone Country Park” as the Park Ranger and continues his success with both his horses which is only a credit to himself. Joshua would say to anyone that is finding it hard to see light at the end of the tunnel, take each day as it comes and believe in yourself, as I am living proof of that success.

Redgate Farm Animal Sanctuary – which is on Shaw Lane between Coalville and Markfield – houses a wide range of animals from cats to goats and sheep. It has applied to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council for planning permission to create the new buildings. Planning documents say the existing goat barn and stables are ‘tired and now too small to cater for the expansion the farm has seen over the years’, while the new cattery will ‘upgrade existing facilities’ and improve them for ‘people and cats alike’. The sanctuary was founded in 1986 by the Redmile family and as well as rescuing and rehabilitating animals, it also sometimes offers cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and ducks for adoption. The farm is open to the public between noon and 3pm on weekends, with farm manager Maia Corbett and the farm’s staff and volunteers on hand to talk about the animals they have rescued and rehabilitated. LOCAL CHARITY ISSUES URGENT APPEAL FOR SHOP DONATIONS HAVING A CLEAR out this festive season? Perhaps you’ve received an unwanted gift that needs a new home or you’re looking to declutter ready for a fresh start to the new year. Local charity Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland has issued an urgent appeal for donations of any good quality, saleable stock including clothing, bric-a-brac, books and furniture to their local Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland charity shop. Donors can take pride in the knowledge that all money raised from the sale of goods donated is used to support local, vulnerable older people in the community through services such as befriending for the lonely and isolated, information and advice for those struggling to pay their bills and respite services to support older carers. Anthony Donovan, Executive Director of Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland commented: “Whilst we have been overwhelmed by the support and generousity from the public in the last twelve months, currently our shops are desperately in need of stock.” “We are a vital lifeline for many vulnerable older people and a source of support for not only them but their families who depend on us to support their loved one, as they many do not live nearby. We rely on fundraising support and the public’s donations of pre-loved items to enable us to raise the funds to provide vital services. By donating your goods now and on a regular basis you’re giving back and allowing us to continue to be there for those who need us the most” he adds. Donations can be dropped off at any of Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland’s shops during opening times (full list here: https://www.ageuk.org. uk/leics/shops/) and collection of furniture and larger items can be arranged by calling 0116 299 2233.
