Kevin has chosen The Well community hub in Kibworth and Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Headway as the two charities he will support during his year in office.

He has lived in the Kibworths for more 35 years and is an active member of the community, and said: “I am very pleased to be taking up the role of chairman this year and I look forward to serving the county to the best of my ability.

“Previous chairmen have done excellent work over the years, including for charity, and I look forward to continuing this work in my term of office.

“I have chosen Headway and The Well as my charities for this year.

“I have seen the excellent work Headway does with a friend who is recovering from a brain tumour and am very happy that I will be able to support that work in a small way.

“Equally, The Well in Kibworth supports truly worthy causes, including through its foodbank and community centre, and I’m delighted to be able to support another charity so close to my heart”.

Kevin has also served as chairman of Kibworth Harcourt Parish Council since 2014 as well as being a member of Kibworth Beauchamp Parish Council.
