For the fifth year running, and due to popular demand, we rnoved our services into the open-air during July and August taking advantage of the beautiful Setting of Anthony Roper School Fields.

From our work with people at Yhe Space" we identrfied a very real need within the community forthe provision of transport, particularly for medical and key social inclusion appointments. In April we were awarded a grant from Kent County Council enabling the purchase of a wheelchair attessible vehlcle (WAV). We then established °Cornmunlty Carf a hybrid scheme wlth volunteer drivers usin8 both their own vehicles and the WAV. The scheme was officially launched in October by our local MP. Luara Trott and senior member of the community, 95 year old Di Grant. To date V have 65 users, 20 volunteer drivers and are performing between 35 and 45 journeys per month. Another good year for DVCC where we have experienced growth in numbers, activity and personal character. We look forward to continuing to serve our comrnunity by practically showing the love of God in the year ahead. TAR Merch 2012
