Thanet is beautiful, there is a wonderfully diverse population and amazing community resilience. But, Thanet is also a challenging place to live with some areas being rated the most deprived in the country. With this deprivation comes increased health problems, crime, poor housing, low employment and a culture of mistrust, low aspirations and apathy. We want to build resilience within our community so that our neighbourhoods become stronger and happier and better places to be for future generations.

This group has been set up to explore the real challenges that face us locally, nationally and globally and how we can start on the journey to transform Thanet!
