Young resident? k Tell us what you thin of us! We’re setting up a Youth Panel to make sure young residents’ voices are heard. We want to know what they think about our homes, our communities, and the issues affecting them. We’d like to know what help and support we can offer. The youth panel is open to residents aged 11-19 across Kent. Members will have a say about all areas of our business. They’ll enjoy trips to London to meet with our other youth forums. They’ll also have the opportunity to develop their skills and job prospects. We’ll also reward Youth Panel members with food, events, and days out which will be chosen by the young people For more information please contact Lewis Kinch at [email protected] or on 01795 434665.

This is a brilliant achievement and means that all homes in the Kent region have had a valid gas safety certificate for the last 60 months. It’s so important that all our homes have annual gas safety checks to ensure your safety. If your gas check is due we’ll write to you with an appointment date and time. 7
