Rotary Club of Thanet supports Millmead families
The Rotary Club of Thanet are pleased to donate a further £1000 to Millmead Children’s centre for the benefit of local families. In addition, the children and their families will be guests of the club at the Aladdin pantomime in December at the Sarah Thorne theatre.
Thanet Rotary are keen supporters of Millmead and view with dismay the suggestion in the current Kent County Council consultation that the centre could close at the end of this financial year.
Club President Maria Blackburn, formerly a Head teacher at Northdown school, remembers when SureStart, as it was then, started in a portacabin on the edge of the school field. “It was exciting to see the new building grow and later to work in partnership with the centre, particularly with under 5s and those just joining school, ensuring that the children had the foundation on which their future well- being and achievement would depend.”
For many years, no Xmas has been complete without the pleasure of the families’ attendance as guests of The Rotary Club of Thanet at the Sarah Thorne pantomime. This is on top of the regular and significant donations from the club’s charitable fund, the Cinderella Fund, which indeed comes from the world of pantomime. The Rotary Club of Thanet encourage all who are working on Millmead’s future to secure an outcome which will see the centre continue and prosper as the amazing community asset it is. Let’s see everyone go to the Ball.
