INTRODucfioN The Waterside Centre- Gravesend Limited (Waterside) was established in September 1995 and is an independently run family support service based in central Gravesend. The service has historically been mainly funded by Kent County Council (KCC). This funding ceased eight years ago when Big Lottery funding was awarded. The service aim5 to provide a supportive and caring environment within the community that enables parents and children in need to grow and develop, in order to help them realise their full value and potential within the community. Waterside provides a service to families where there are children in need under the age of five years, with a view to preventing child abuse or neglect, and to improving the overall mental health of the families involved. The core values that underpin the seniices are as follows: The child's welfare is paramount The child should, wherever possible, be brought up in his or her own family Parents are their child's first and most important educators Supporting the equal rights of each individual within the family, within the service and within the wider community The organisation was developed as a result of concern expressed, initially by Kent County Council, that there should be more preventative services in the area in order to be able to provide early services and sUPPOrt to families with young children. Concern was also expressed by Social Services about the mental health of local mothers with young children who were finding the experience both depressing and isolating, with no local support provided specifically for families with young children. Waterside became a registered company in September 1995. Negotiations followed aboutthe content of a Service Agency Agreement with Kent Social Services whilst a suitable property was being sought and suitably adapted. After the requisite adaptations to the building had been completed, a lease was signed, and services were initiated just before Christmas 1996. PUBLIC BENEFIT The trustees, in exercising their powers and duties, have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.
