Congratulations to Adam Palmer and Ashley Stone for their double win at the Kent Mental Health and Wellbeing Awards. 

As well as winning fundraisers of the year for Medway, they also picked up the champion award at the end of the show. 

Adam and Ashley have worked tirelessly on their 12 months of fundraising challenge and have raised a hugely impressive amount of £8200.

Taking part in various activities such as a charity football match, sponsored walk, monthly scratchcard and speed quizzes, Ashley was keen to support North Kent Mind as a charity close to his heart after experiencing mental health issues in his own life. Thank you so much to Adam and Ashley for their amazing fundraising efforts, commitment and dedication.

Congratulations to North Kent Mind Wellbeing Services and North West Kent Countryside Partnership for all their hard work – Ecology Island wins a Kent Mental Health and Wellbeing Award.
