-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Better Medway Campaign Features Our Parish
A Better Medway is an exciting new campaign for everyone living or working in Medway to help us all make small but significant changes to lead healthier and longer lives. We are delighted that, as a part of the launch advertising, our parish locations (Wainscott allotments and a snowy Upper Upnor) with local residents feature on two posters. You can join in A Better Medway by pledging to make a small change that could make a big difference to your health and well-being at www.abettermedway.co.uk. There are grants of up to £5,000 available for voluntary or community groups in Medway who would like to champion an event or idea to make leading a healthier lifestyle easier. The activity would support communities in Medway to eat healthily, prevent and stop smoking, get active, drink sensibly or cope with stress. Maybe you would like to hold a roller skating party, cookery classes or tango classes. Email Manjit Sohal on manjit@kentcf.org.uk or call 07812 555024. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hilltop Swimming Pool Opens 22 February The Hilltop Swimming Pool reopened during week beginning Monday 22 February after extensive refurbishment.
