St James Centre in East Malling

Hi everyone

As most of you will know I am Chair of Trustees at the St James Centre in East Malling. We are a Charity and provide a community hub where we run a variety of different activities for the people of all ages. We also have a cafe which provides good value healthy food daily as well as running classes on healthy eating for parents and children during the school holidays and opportunities for volunteers to learn skills to support them into work. There are keep fit classes, yoga, craft and chat, street games (for youngsters), discos for primary age children, Young Parents Groups, Brownies and a woodland play area and allotments. We also provide classroom space for children from two local secondary schools who cannot cope in mainstream schooling so that they can take their GCSEs. We are also the regional centre for Sport Relief and tomorrow morning (Friday) are holding a Macmillan Coffee morning (9 - 12 - all welcome). A children's nursery is also due to open soon.

Our only income currently is from renting out the hall and other spaces and fund raising. Our latest venture are a series of music events where, as well as some really interesting and enjoyable live music, we will be serving some delicious food.



It would be fantastic to get some support from fellow Rotarians for these events. Please have a look at the attached flyer and let me know if you would like tickets.
