A vigil will be held 5.00 to 6.00 pm this Friday 4th March in Kingsbridge Town Square for anyone affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Many people are feeling helpless at present as they witness the unbearable events unfolding in Eastern Europe and this gathering is an opportunity for the Kingsbridge community to come together as one and stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. You may wish to dress in blue and yellow, light candles, bring daffodils or balloons and make your own placards.
The vigil will be addressed by Mike Jennings, Town Mayor, and Reverend Jackie Taylor will lead us into a time of silence as we hold Ukraine in our thoughts and hearts.
Everyone is encouraged to attend as Kingsbridge Stands With Ukraine.
Online donations can be made to the British Red Cross’ Ukraine Crisis Appeal to help get food, medicine, shelter, warm clothes and water to those who need it most – see the link below:

Kingsbridge Community Champions 2022
After a two year ‘hiatus’ due to Covid-19, the Kingsbridge Community Champions award is back to shine a spotlight on those working to strengthen the community in Kingsbridge. With your help Kingsbridge Town Council wants to recognise the people who go that “extra mile” and have made a positive impact in our town…and we need your nominations!! We are talking about all activity, big or small, from all kinds of people: a friend, work colleague, neighbour or volunteer.
We do not wish to be too prescriptive and the whole concept is for the Kingsbridge community to effectively elect their own Champions with as few rules and conditions involved as possible. How do you go about it? It’s simple, just complete a nomination form which can either be downloaded from the link below, pick one up from the Council Offices at Quay House, email reception@kingsbridge.gov.uk or call 01548.853296. Nomination forms will also be available from the Library, Kingsbridge Information Centre and a few shops in Fore Street. It will only take you a few minutes to complete your nomination for your Community Champion – let’s give local people the credit they deserve!
Deadline for applications is Friday 18th March 2022.
