Community
Our aim is to improve the wellbeing of local communities and address health inequalities across Kent through collaboration with a range of local, regional and national partners.
How we do this...
We empower and support communities to live happy, healthy and fulfilling lives by delivering engaging and preventative wellbeing projects and programmes.

Our community offer...

CMK is grateful to National Lottery players and The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting our community offer from 2022 - 2025.
Find out more about the impact of our community programmes by watching our evaluation video HERE (16 mins).
Unfortunately this funding has now come to an end and our community-based wellbeing programmes and activities have therefore had to be scaled back.
We continue to run our weekly Walk & Talk and hope to be able to expand our offer again in the future.
In the meantime, please check out our 'Wellbeing Toolkit'.
If you have been a part of this journey, thank you for joining us.

Nurture Wellbeing
Providing support and hope for Parents & Carers of Children with Cancer
CMK understands the direct correlation between parent and child wellbeing in paediatric cancer and are currently working with our local hospital trusts to develop a wellbeing programme to support parents/carers of children with a cancer diagnosis in East Kent. Whilst parents and families affected by childhood cancer may benefit from nationally-based charities offering support when children are in active treatment, there is a gap in locally-based provision when parents and families return home from specialist hospitals located outside of Kent. This programme sought to address this gap in providing a package of parent/carer wellbeing support in partnership with other locally-based community partners.

This programme included the following:
-
Engagement with and incorporation of parent/carer voice to inform programme development.
-
Wellbeing bags to be given to parents at the time of their child’s diagnosis.
-
Parent/carer peer support group/s.
-
A programme of wellbeing events to enhance wellbeing and build resilience (e.g. free holistic, complimentary therapies).
