We are delighted to be supporting another one of our local schools this year: Platts Heath Primary School is a small, village school that prides itself on creating a friendly, caring ethos. All those involved with the school are encouraged to strive for high standards in everything that they do in work, behaviour, play and in appearance. They truly believe that as a small school they ensure all their children are able to make progress academically, morally and socially.
The school has let us know that they would love to use any monies raised towards an interactive
whiteboard and also a “speech to print” kit that will help the children with creative writing and linguistic development. The children of Platts Heath Primary School will also be supporting the Festival by performing at some of the events.

Lenham Meadows Trust was set up as a registered charity in 2017 to promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment of the parish of Lenham. The Trust aims to save and protect the open spaces and wildlife of Lenham for the enjoyment of both our own community and visitors to our village for years to come. The trustees, who are all residents of Lenham are supported by a team of volunteers. They aim to prevent our open spaces from being lost by taking into the Trust’s management the open spaces and land available from future development sites. The Trust aims to purchase or lease land when available to use as buffer zones to enhance and protect our ancient woodland, flora and fauna.
You have probably seen the recent major works at Glebe Pond, which is the first land to come under the ownership of the Trust and which has now undergone a full renovation so it can be maintained as a great amenity for the village. If you want to know more about the fantastic work the Trust is undertaking you can follow them on Facebook @LenhamMeadowsTrust.

Carers Relief Service is a registered charity started in 1983 by a group of parents and professionals to offer a short break to carers of adults with learning disabilities living at home. The charity operates in the Medway, Swale and Maidstone areas and is managed by a committee of carers, professionals and volunteers who work closely with the local social services departments in Medway Council and Kent County Council. The charity employs Personal Support Workers to work in the community with adults who have a learning disability to relieve the main carer from the pressure of caring. The service is designed to meet each carer’s specific needs and provides a person centred approach to delivering an individual care plan to the adult with a learning disability.
The charity also provides a service to those wishing to purchase care hours using direct payments or individualised budgets. A number of clubs and activity groups for adults with learning difficulties have also been established by the charity to improve their quality of life. Carers Relief Service is registered with the Care Quality Commission and has a GOOD rating.
