Local Community Events & Activities 2011-2013: "Footprints in the Sand"

Why not have a outside walk or activity arranged for your group on the coast? 

  

This project will help to run tailored outdoor events for local people that don’t normally access our internationally important coastline - Thanet's largest open space!  It is aimed at supporting communities from deprived areas of Thanet, from the very young to the old, or from different ethnic backgrounds or for those with disabilities. Find out more about 'Footprints in the Sand' partnership project and partners you can contact.

These events will be free for local eligible groups.
