DDC, the NHS and other community providers are joining together to deliver these East Kent Health and Care Partnership events, to help support residents who can benefit from:
- Cost of living support
- Cooking on a budget workshops
- Pre-loved coats
- Expert advice about getting the care they need
- Adult COVID and flu vaccinations for those that are eligible
- Advice about how to beat the winter blues and stay connected to others.

Cllr Charlotte Zosseder, Cabinet Member for Community, said:
“We are very pleased to be supporting these events helping our communities stay well this winter. Our thanks go to all who have donated coats to help those who need them. If you’re struggling with the cost of living and need advice, let us help you – come along and chat to one of the team.”
