This week representatives from charities and schools across Kent and Medway are descending upon a special event that boasts an action-packed programme of activities and workshops.

The annual Forum which is staged by the KM Charity Team is taking place this Friday, October 3.

Multiple sessions for charities range from how to apply to become KM Charity of the Year to the latest guidance on accountancy, tax and insurance issues.

Schools involved in the KM Walk to School campaign will find out how to use school councils to drive the green agenda, and the road safety skill tests now available to them. Literacy leaders will learn about KM's new home reading initiative and PTA UK will brief parent volunteers on the support the organisation can provide.

The KM Forum will take place on Friday, October 3 at the Mercure Great Danes Hotel, Maidstone. The event is supported by Jelf Insurance with Burgess Hodgson the headline sponsor.
