Making Connections Dover
Our Making Connections Dover event, in conjunction with Stronger Kent Communities, on Wednesday 16th October, was a resounding success, with many organisations coming along for this great networking opportunity. We will be hosting more events like this, so keep a watch on our socials and website for details.
Many thanks to all who came along, and to those who took a Spotlight slot to explain more about the work of your organisation. It was great to spend the morning with you all!
Accessibility Network & Knowledge event
Aimed at helping organisations more accessible for staff and volunteers, our Accessibility Network & Knowledge event was held on Wednesday, 24 Jul 2024 at Margate Caves, where we were delighted to be joined by:

- Madeline Gray from Kent Association for the Blind, speaking about blindness awareness

Then afterwards, there was time to network and share knowledge and information.
