We are proud of our dedicated youth services team that work in secondary and primary schools. The team deliver various programmes that benefit children and young people in our homes and communities. Although schools are now broken up for the Easter break, we wanted to share some of the amazing work the children and young people have been doing.

Some of the work has been slightly different in recent months, as some of the groups the team have been working with have varied in size. One example is the nurture group, which provides a safe space for young people to develop their self-esteem through activities and conversation.

One of our youth services team shared their thoughts on the impact of the work; ‘It's great to be able to see the change and growth in confidence in the young people. We have been doing lots of fun activities including sand art, marbling, watercolour painting and making friendship bracelets.’

West Kent marks Transgender Awareness Week

This Transgender Awareness Week, we took a step toward in building inclusive communities by hosting a lunch and learn session. Led by Lio, a West Kent resident and member of the transgender community, the session was an eye-opening opportunity to explore the importance of trans-inclusion in our everyday lives.
