CMK Connect Programme
What is the CMK Connect Programme?
The CMK Connect Programme is an opportunity for you to get active, take time for self-care, make new connections, learn new skills, develop positive habits, build confidence, and boost your overall wellbeing.
Delivered in partnership with organisations across Thanet, the programme offers young people aged 13-17 years the opportunity to take part in various FREE or low cost activities linked to your interests or to try something new, and collect points as you go using your CMK Connect Card.
These points can then be exchanged for rewards through CMK, a community interest company dedicated to supporting people to improve their wellbeing and live happier, healthier lives.
