The Kent Community Foundation Needs in Kent Conference 2022 will take place on 15th June 2022 from 10am to 4pm at The Village Hotel in Maidstone to explore the emerging needs of the county following the pandemic.
Our county has some significant social challenges and after the disruption of the last two years, we felt as a community-based funder it was important to find out exactly what’s happening to the local communities we serve.
We therefore commissioned a piece of research in 2021 looking at the county’s priority needs, on a district-by-district basis. Perhaps unsurprisingly recurring themes include issues like food poverty, mental health, substance misuse and domestic abuse.
The conference will be the platform to launch this piece of research and provide an opportunity to discuss our collective ambition for Kent and its future needs and how we can focus our funding and connections to meet these needs.
The event will include keynote speakers, breakout room sessions and will also be a chance to network with other funders both statutory and independent and meet groups working on the ground in the voluntary sector.
This is a free event. Lunch and refreshments will be provided throughout the day.
Further information and speakers to be announced soon.
