THE HOSPICE HERD IS ON THE MOVE
Fancy a fun day out? Why not hunt down the famous herd from Hospice in the Weald? The Herd, a group of 24 life-size horse sculptures, is currently on show in a unique public art installation, surprising and delighting sightseers across West Kent and East Sussex. Designed and painted by local artists
and generously sponsored by local businesses, the stunning horses have already created a stampede of interest in the parks and other public spaces where they are on display. To help to track them down and fi nd the nearest ones to you, you can download a Herd Trek map from the website
www.herdofthehospice.co.uk,
showing the locations of all 24 horses. When you track down each horse, you can encourage others to join in the fun by taking a selfi e and sharing it on social media with the hashtag #jointheherd on Twitter @thehospiceherd or Facebook herdofthehospice. The herd will stay on show until October when the horses will be brought together for an exhibition at Royal Victoria Place in Tunbridge Wells before an auction in which you can bid to take one home for keeps. • If you’ve enjoyed tracking down the Herd, do text to donate to support your local Hospice. Text HERD to 70660 to donate £3 to Hospice in the Weald.
A Speedwatch scheme has been introduced in Kings Hill with the aim of helping reduce excessive speed on the community’s roads, coordinated by Bob Ayling, a former Chief Constable of Kent Police, who is also a Kings Hill parish councillor. Drivers’ speeds will be monitored and anyone travelling at 35mph or more will be reported to the police. If that vehicle is caught speeding again within 12 months anywhere in Kent and Sussex the driver will receive a letter of advice from the police. The equipment was bought by Kings Hill developer Liberty Property Trust and development partner KCC for use by the community volunteers with the support of the parish council. The scheme has the support of the police and has been proven to make drivers think more about their speed. • Interested in volunteering? For more information, call 01732 870382.
CHARITY OF THE MONTH Scotts Project Trust
Established 26 years ago by Jill and Denis Scott, the Scotts Project Trust supports adults with learning disabilities to strive to reach their aspirations and make choices about how they want to live their lives through three interlinked services, based near Tonbridge in Kent: • St Peter’s Row, our residential care home, for those who need more support, either in their everyday lives, or to develop independence. • The Oaks and Willows, independent living houses, developing the skills to live as independently as possible.
• Scotts Day Services, running sessions and activities to develop life skills,
wellbeing and confi dence. Many adults with a
learning disability have difficulty finding high- quality day services with a broad and varied programme to meet their needs and interests,
particularly if they have a physical disability too.
Exciting plans are in place to expand our Day Services, so that we can offer our service to even more people. We are going to: • Increase the number of places we can offer. • Offer a wider range of sessions in life skills.
• Extend and refurbish our hall to provide further classrooms, as well as access and facilities for more people with physical disabilities.
• If you can help us by donating or volunteering, contact Denise Tucker, Community Fundraiser, via email at
denisetucker@scottsprojecttrust.org. uk, call 01732 367917 or visit www.
