Kent Charities Group raises over £4,000

The Kent Charities Group, a group of 10 Kent-registered charities, has raised over £4,000 from a Christmas raffle to help eight registered charities across the county. The funds will be distributed between the Kent Charities Group to assist the participating charities in improving the quality of life for Kent residents.

Draw prizes donated by Kent businesses included dinner, bed and breakfast for two at Eastwell Manor Hotel, a family pass for Howletts and Port Lympne valid for a year, Bluewater shopping vouchers worth £200, a sightseeing flight over Kent in a two-seater plane, a weekend loan of a Porsche Boxster and £150 in cash.

Tony Williams, Kent Charity Group Chairman, said: "Whilst retaining their individual identities and diverse work, the Kent Charities Group epitomises the true ethos of partnership working. All of the charities in the group are registered, Kent-based and all are dedicated to their individual causes".
