PAST ACHIEVEMENTS
Since 2015 Kent Estuary Youth Project (KEY) has offered youth provision with the aim of offering a varied programme of youth led projects with collaboration and engagement with local communities.
With continued support from local and national grant providers, KEY has established local groups, projects and initiatives. With some resilience, the project has continued through the COVID pandemic and now alongside the young people, continues to develop new ideas and strategies for the future.
