There are a few places still available on the one-day training course, taking place on Saturday 26th April, for local residents and representatives of clubs, groups and organisations who run community events and activities in Hawkinge and East Folkestone.

The course will tackle how to encourage more people to attend community, leisure and social events. Participants will gain essential skills that they can use within their own clubs and organisations so that successful events and activities for the whole community can be delivered. Delegates will also learn how to overcome barriers to participation

The course will run from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm at Hawkinge Community Centre and is free for attendees. It is funded by The Hawkinge Partnership and will be delivered by the Neighbourhood Initiatives Foundation who specialise in providing training for community groups. All training materials and refreshments will be provided.

Barbara Bradley, The Hawkinge Neighbourhood Manager, said, “This is a great opportunity for club, group and event organisers to assess how they currently do things and take steps to inspire and motivate people to attend and continue to participate” .
