Last Friday we held our Community Open Day, and it was wonderful to connect with so many attendees about the local support we offer and the many ways to get involved with North Kent Mind. We were also delighted to be joined by our local MP, Jim who came along to show his support.

A huge thank you to Dartford Healthy Living Centre for providing the refreshments and food, and to The Orchard Theatre West for generously letting us use their venue for the event.

Thank you to everyone who came along, your support means so much. We hope to host another event like this in the future! 💙
