Award winners named for community support
More than 40 champions of communities across Canterbury, Whitstable and Herne Bay will receive formal recognition at an awards ceremony at the end of March.
The Revival Community Awards celebrates the individuals reviving our businesses, clubs and charities. Winners are unsung heroes of the workplace, volunteers, community and business leaders as well as champions of mental health.
The event is staged by East Kent Mind and Whitstable-based social enterprise Revival Food and Mood – and supported by the Lord Mayor of Canterbury, Barretts Kent, SouthEastern, Active Life, Canterbury Christ Church University, CommunityAd, Whitefriars and The Riverside.
