This week (11-17th October)

Faversham evening carnival

We’re looking for volunteers to come along and hand out Santa Specials leaflets at Faversham Carnival on Saturday evening. The carnival lines up at 4pm in Jubilee Way, the judges walk around at 5pm and we set off at 6.30pm. We have plenty of Christmas hats so please come along if it’s something you could help us with? It would be lovely to see a fully booked Christmas after the unfortunate last 2 years and it would be lovely to hold our first trophy for best float…!
