090 RSVP / OUT & ABOUT TWODS’ FUNDRAISING RECORD
Tunbridge Wells Operatic & Dramatic Society – fondly known as TWODS – has raised a staggering £4,200 for local charity Fegans, which will fund a full course of professional counselling for 10 young people in the region. The money was raised through bucket collections at the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells, where TWODS performed the musical Grease. Audiences gave generously and TWODS added their own donation from the impressive ticket sales, resulting in the largest amount they have ever been able to donate to a local charity. Chairman Kevin Denman
presented Fegans CEO Ian Soars with the cheque at the charity’s office in Tunbridge Wells. • Visit

COMPUTERS TO TANZANIA
CAMPAIGN LAUNCH The most significant initiative in the history of Kent-based charity Digital Pipeline saw the first of 40,000 computers destined for schools in Tanzania leave its Aylesford headquarters.
Two 13m containers, loaded with IT equipment, left the site for a six-week sea voyage to Dar es Salaam, where they will be met by the Tanzanian Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa and Digital Pipeline CEO Bevil Williams. Founded in 2004 and originally called Computers4Africa, Digital Pipeline is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Today, the charity ships refurbished, ‘as new’, IT kit to emerging economies in Africa, Nepal, Pakistan, South America and the West Indies. Digital Pipeline Chairman Abraham Sangiwa was at the warehouse to wave off the first shipment, along with Deputy Lieutenant of Kent Trevor Sturgess and Bevil Williams. • Visit

HISTORIC DOCKYARD
CHATHAM CELEBRATES The Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust has won the award for Best Major Regeneration of a Historic Building or Place at the Historic England Heritage Angel Awards 2018.

award recognises projects that have seen large scale investment put into saving, rescuing or regenerating a building or place. Over the last 34 years, The Historic Dockyard Chatham has undertaken a strategy of ‘Preservation through reuse’ that has seen the 80-acre historic site transformed from a dilapidated
post-industrial site into a thriving mixed-use community which is visited by more than 185,000 visitors each year and often used as a location for filming popular television series or movies. • Visit
