Thank you for taking part in the Kent and Medway Listens project.
Kent and Medway Listens is the largest and deepest county-wide engagement exercise ever undertaken focusing on the mental wellbeing of the population.
We have partnered with various community partners including Involve Kent, Kent equality cohesion council, Rethink Kent, Social Enterprise Kent, Medway Voluntary Action (MVA), the Medway Diversity Forum, Befriending Together, MEGAN CIC, Centre for Independent Living, Medway Gender and Sexuality Diversity Centre and Medway Plus.
We have set up some interactive, online workshops to give stakeholders, residents of Kent and Medway and those who have been listened to, the opportunity to come together to hear what is impacting the population. This will be done through looking at themes from the listening, quotes and stories. We hope by coming together it will spark conversation, reflections and even the movement towards some actions.
A workshop will be held in each health care partnership (HCP) area and will be hosted by Kent County Council, Medway Council and the Kent and Medway NHS partners.
Medway and Swale HCP
East Kent HCP
West Kent HCP
Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley HCP
Who should attend?
We believe this event will be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders and decision makers at all levels and in all organisations:
local authorities

Community organisations
Charities
Residents with a passion for improving the wellbeing of communities in Kent and Medway
What will be discussed?
The workshop will include a detailed presentation of the findings so far, a space to reflect on the results and interactive discussions to start thinking about what more can be done to address the issues that have been identified.
Please sign up to attend now!
Final joining instructions will be sent to you closer to the date.
