Young Medway 2nd AGM and Networking Event

26/09/2024

Young Medway’s AGM and Networking Evening: A Big Thank You to Our Supporters On Tuesday 24th September Young Medway celebrated its 2nd AGM, bringing together 40 representatives from local youth organisations. We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended Young Medway’s AGM and networking evening last night. The event was a fantastic success, and we were thrilled to see so many familiar faces alongside new supporters. Your presence and participation were highly appreciated and helped create a wonderful atmosphere for everyone involved. A special mention must go to former Mayor, Cllr Nina Gurung, who generously chose Young Medway as one of her nominated charities during her Mayoral year. We were deeply honoured by her support and the incredible contribution of £3,143 she raised for us! This donation will significantly contribute to our work, ensuring we can continue to make a difference for the young people of Medway. We were also very pleased to be joined by Justin Watson from the Young People's Foundation Trust who gave an update on the national picture and encouraged us to think about what might be possible for Young Medway in the future. If you’re interested in learning more about becoming a trustee for Young Medway, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out, and we can arrange a conversation to discuss this exciting opportunity further. At the meeting Elly Heaton from Young Ealing YPF supported us to start a SWOT analysis to help us understand how Young Medway can best respond to the needs of our members.
