Kent Minds Report on Activity 1[st] April 2022 – 31[st] March 2023
We at last started the year free of Covid restrictions and were able to plan properly for our events. However sadly the spectre and fear of re-infection has we believe, meant that some of our older supporters still feel unable to leave their homes to attend events.
Fund Raising Activity
Drinks in a Summer Garden
We were thrilled to offer our guests a special opportunity to see the wonderful garden and historic house belonging to John and Kate Leigh-Pemberton. On a warm summer’s evening in June over 60 guests enjoyed sparkling wine and delicious canapes. John Leigh-Pemberton was able to tell our supporters about the amazing history of the house and Kate described the journey of designing a garden from scratch. As ever the Committee had managed to obtain some fantastic prizes for the raffle which was well supported. This event made £3,926 including generous donations.
Christmas Fair
We were so grateful to Mrs Kate Fenwick for again opening her spacious and elegant house for a Christmas Fair in November 2022. It was however hard work finding stall holders as sadly many have stopped trading due to Covid. Our committee were not downhearted and we opened with over 14 stalls selling a truly amazing selection of Christmas gifts for all the family. We invited our supporters to a drinks party on the first evening and this proved very popular. Generous donations were received as we make a point of not charging for entry. The next day we offered coffee and cake to our shoppers and homemade soup and bread to our stallholders. Everyone left very happy and we made a total of £2,911.
We also ran a raffle charging £5 per ticket for presents supplied for our stallholders which as ever was very well supported.
Funding Mental Health Providers
£2,000 from the Christmas Fair went to Porchlight to enable them to offer support and shelter to those suffering from mental health problems in Canterbury town centre. We also gave £2,000 to The Tenterden Hub which provides a full range of services from social get togethers with home cooked meals, home help and a special dementia café.
We also gave £1,600 to the Weald Family Hub which was conceived in response to rising concerns about mental illness in young people in the Wealden community. Its aim is to connect the community with people, projects and organisations that support young people and their families who are struggling with issues of mental health and is focussed on becoming a key local network of support for the Wealden villages.
Finally, the Committee agreed to give £1,000 to the Kent Samaritans to help fund their valuable telephone assistance provision. Although Samaritans is a large organisation, each branch is self-funding so it was felt to be entirely appropriate that we give to this very active Kent-based team.
Conclusion
We continue to try to strengthen our committee with younger members, however we have struggled with finding those who can devote the time to help with events. We also continue to use print and postal services to deliver our invitations as we believe that the plethora of emails received by our guests would not enhance our offering. This has been a popular decision with our supporters. We continue to be thankful for all the generous contributions received from all over Kent and Medway which enable us to continue to support mental health organisations across our diverse county.
