New KCF Event: Green Impact Forum

Join us at our Green Impact Forum

An event for charitable organisations in Kent and Medway to explore the many different ways to be greener and kinder to our county.

No matter where you are on your mission to become more environmentally sustainable - perhaps you haven't started yet - this event will inspire you into action. You don't have to be an organisation dedicated to environmental work or even have plans to run projects which are specifically dedicated to caring for Kent's green spaces - you may be interested in simple ways you can become cleaner and greener in the services you already deliver.

This event will centre around peer-to-peer insight and inspiration, exploring the many ways in which charities and voluntary groups can have a more positive impact on our local environment and the lives of those within our communities.

As a professional grant-maker committed to an Environmental Strategy, this forum from Kent Community Foundation will empower and upskill those already delivering great initiatives within the voluntary sector, as well as acting as a catalyst for those who want to start and start small.

When?
Wednesday 27th March 2024

Where?
Three Hills Sports Park, Cheriton Road, Folkestone CT19 5JU

Spaces are limited to one person per organisation, unless a companion is required as additional support in order to attend.

Take a look at the video below from the Kent Community Foundation team, local coach Liu Batchelor and aspiring ‘Eco Champions’ from the voluntary sector on what you can expect at the free-to-attend event, including:

  • Welcome from Kent Community Foundation Chief Executive, Josephine McCartney, and short overview of our commitments to the environment and voluntary sector as a grant-maker
  • Introduction to the event and how to get the most from it from local speaker, coach and eco-enthusiast, Liu Batchelor
  • Presentations from charitable groups who have found different ways to become more environmental sustainable in their service delivery

We look forward to seeing you there! 

MASSIVE 'thank you ' to everyone at Kent Community Foundation. Your funding support is HUGELY appreciated and has enabled us to get into the heart of local communities with REAL, affordable, healthy and tasty food that does so much more than feed people.

KCF's enthusiasm for what we are doing and hoping to do, coupled with helpful advice, gave us the confidence to take this daunting step which has paid off.

It's great having a foundation that empowers organisations and charities in our community to make real positive differences and changes!
