...Thank you for your kindness and care, we appreciate all you do. Never underestimate the difference you make." - Katie, Mentoring Coordinator, CAST (2/2) #VolunteersWeek #Volunteers @NCVOvolunteers

This #VolunteersWeek we'd like to say "A big #ThankYou to all our amazing #Volunteers who give their time to support young people. We are so grateful to all our mentors & volunteers who listen to & encourage young people as they navigate the teenage years...(1/2) @NCVOvolunteers

We've seen so many signs of #Spring this week: daffodils, bumblebees, longer and sunnier days. What signs of Spring have you seen? As we enter the #Easter holiday, we're praying that your days will be filled with hope, joy and peace.

Tonight, we’re praying for everyone involved in educating children across #Kent. We #pray that they will have renewed strength this week as they support children at home and in school. "God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble" - Psalm 46:10

We're praying for peace and energy for school leaders, teachers, staff, parents and pupils this evening 🙏

We've been busy working on something new for you during this unusual season at home. Introducing Prayer Spaces at Home! We are really excited to launch these brilliant prayer activities that you can do with your families from the comfort of your own home!

NEW... Love is bigger than fear - sometimes we can feel overwhelmed by a sense of fear. As we navigate social isolation children and adults alike might find this a scary time, a sense of the unknown. This activity can be done as a family. #prayerspacesathome #stayhomesavelives

Great to be supporting @AylesfordSch again, this time helping students develop their interview skills.

It was great to join with local business to support @wrotham_school students prepare for interviews
