MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM @thelawsontrust 🎅🎄 We w MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM @thelawsontrust 🎅🎄 We were recently luckily enough to visit @turnercontemporary in Margate to see their learning programme, Creative Transitions, in action. It’s a unique learning programme developed by @turnercontemporary that aims to support Year 7 pupils from secondary schools in Thanet to adapt to the challenges of moving from primary to secondary school. Between September 2019 and January 2020, 1500 Year 7 pupils from 8 state funded secondary schools in Thanet are taking part in Creative Transition, a day-long workshop that encourages creative risk-taking, questioning and problem solving using a combination of philosophical discussion and practical making. It was great to see some of the pupils taking in the Turner Prize 2019 and offering up their thoughts and feelings on the finalists’ work. #year7 #artgallery #transition #turnerprize Image courtesy of Stuart Leech for Turner Contemporary

GROWING PHILANTHROPY 🌱🎺 To celebrate and enc GROWING PHILANTHROPY 🌱🎺 To celebrate and encourage philanthropy in Kent, The Lawson Trust has launched an exciting new match funding partnership with Kent Community Foundation. Building on the charitable legacy of Raymond and Blanche Lawson, the partnership aims to create an endowment for Kent, boosting contributions from other philanthropists and enhancing the lives of people in Kent. The Lawson Trust Million Pound Match Challenge will add £1 for every £1 donated to an endowment fund at Kent Community Foundation. The funds will be invested in perpetuity and the income gained every year will be used for charitable grant making for the benefit of those in need in Kent. Of course, none of this would be possible without the amazing organisations working hard to deliver change for people in Kent! Check out the link in our bio for a brilliant video created by KCF the match fund challenge. 1. @deal_music_arts 2. @spadework.offham 3. @itsmylifetrust 4. @thanet_community_forest_school 5. @artsinramsgate #Kentcommunityfoundation #philanthropy #matchfund #kentcharities
EAST SUSSEX ROAD TRIP 📄🛋💐 I recently visi EAST SUSSEX ROAD TRIP 📄🛋💐 I recently visited some great East Sussex charities with Stephen from @sussexgiving First stop of the day was @1066citizensadvice | The charity’s Chief Executive Tracy showed us around their lovely new offices which staff and volunteers facilitated the move to over the Christmas break, ensuring there wasn’t a break in service. Many people don’t realise that Citizens Advice Bureaus are not government funded services | They support anyone with debt, benefit entitlement, housing, employment, consumer, immigration and relationship problems | Last year Citizens Advice 1066 helped 4,870 people across Hastings and Rother. Second stop was Hastings and Rother Furniture Service (@HFS_loves) where Chief Executive Naomi showed us around their impressive warehouse. The charity supports local households on low incomes to furnish their homes and tackle furniture poverty with the added benefit of reducing waste| Stephen and I loved the service’s mission statement poster designed by Pea Crabtree @Lucky_Budgie Last stop of the day was the exhilarating @little_gate_farm, a place which creates opportunities for people with learning disabilities and autism to help them live fulfilling and independent lives | There are multiple forms of industry happening at Little Gate Farm, one of which was a new cut flower business | Thanks so much to Rachael and her team for showing us around. #citizensadvicebureau #endfurniturepoverty #sussex #learningdisability #autism
