Kent Minds
Report on Activity 1[st] April 2021 – 31[st] March 2022
We started the year with Covid restrictions still making life difficult for our supporters to meet together so we spent the time reviewing our fund making decisions and researching new opportunities to fund mental health initiatives in Kent and Medway. Our Chairman and Committee Members met via Zoom and in person when conditions allowed.
Fund Raising Activity
A wonderful Botanical Art Sale was held by one of our supporters who is a talented artist specialising in the painting of English Garden Fruits and Flowers. The sale was held in her private house with original works and prints proving very popular with the guests who attended. Committee Members were on hand to provide coffee and cakes. This event raised £500.
In December we organised a special Christmas Lunch in Smarden Village Hall, in West Kent with a raffle and stalls of Christmas gifts. Committee Members each made a selection of biscuits, fudge, chocolate brownies and salted chilli almonds which were a great success. Everyone was so delighted to be out again and able to meet their friends. One of our kind supporters gave everyone an organic hand sanitiser – a sign of the times, but very welcome! The Committee worked very hard to cook a delicious lunch and guests mingled over coffee and supported the stalls and raffle. This event raised £4,800.
Funding Mental Health Providers
We supported The Fifth Trust with a donation of £1,000 to help them finish a new extension at their home for mental health sufferers in Elham. We also gave another £500 to the Wye Food Bank which helps with the continuing challenge of local people unable to feed their families.
We also supported a new charity to Kent Minds – Bechange with a donation of £1,000.
Bechange is a charity that works with local people to help them build skills, confidence, healthy relationship and good mental and physical health. They support people based on their individual needs, giving practical and emotional help at critical moments, in order to stop people from becoming overwhelmed during times of crisis.
Conclusion
Despite the restrictions at the beginning of the financial year the Committee were so pleased that our supporters came back to our events to offer their generous support. As we move into the next financial year our aim will be to continue to evolve our events and make use of social media channels to ensure that our supporters are aware of the valuable contribution, they make to mental health organisations in Kent and Medway.
