kent catholic schools' partnership

Maidstone

Welcome to the KCSP website. We are 25 Catholic schools within the Archdiocese of Southwark who have come together into a multi-academy trust as the best way to protect and foster Catholic education in Kent. We are spread throughout Kent and in each of our schools aim to offer excellent education with a distinctive Catholic ethos: caring for, nurturing and developing every pupil as a complete young person equipped and ready to embark on their adult life. Our primary mission is to provide an education for Catholic children, but non-Catholic families who value what we have to offer and want us to work with them in educating their children are very welcome indeed. Thousands of such children enjoy their experience and flourish in our schools. Whether you are thinking of sending your child to one of our schools, want to work with us, want to volunteer to help with the governance of our schools, or are just curious; you are very welcome to browse, hopefully learn and, if you wish, comment or ask a question.

memorial 2007

London

The inspiration for Memorial 2007 came from a school girl of African heritage who, after a visit to the Tower of London, asked her teacher "where is our history?" The answer is that in Britain, it is not in public view. More than 200 years after the passing of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807, there is not anything to commemorate the millions of unnamed Enslaved Africans who lost their lives, liberty, and identity through the slave trade which enriched the colonising powers of Europe and their estates in the Americas. We came together informally in 2002 as a volunteer group. We took the name Memorial 2007, looking ahead to the bicentenary of the passing of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act. In 2007 we became a registered educational charity with the Memorial having a dual purpose, not only as a memorial but as an educational resource. Our aim is to provide access to VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) whereby individuals will be able to have an immersive educational experience, regardless of location.

Nottingham

Our Day Centre exists as a place of friendship and support for the over 60s, within the Ukrainian community in Nottinghamshire. I run the Day Centre with my husband John but if anyone would like to volunteer the occasional Tuesday, please contact either via the Centre's Facebook page: Ukrainian Cultural Centre - AUGB Nottingham or by emailing me: soniaball2021@gmail.com If you require information regarding a 60+ year old refugee you are hosting, please contact me before attending your first week. Thank you! 10/03/2020 Could you add your name to the list of volunteers for Day Centre, please? All we're asking for is your occasional assistance to facilitate trips out for our Day Centre members. Occasional means just a couple of times per year, on a Thursday. We're covered on a weekly basis but with our aging members, going out a bit further afield requires helpers. If this is something that you feel you could help with, please email Sonia Iwanczuk at soniaball2021@gmail.com stating your forename & surname & mobile &/or landline number.

borocuda teesside amateur swimming club

London

B-TASC is a local swimming club which was founded in 2018 by the director of Borocuda swim school who recognised that many of the children coming through the school had potential to continue their journey and grow their love for the sport. The club has a family focussed ethos and a friendly culture which helps to nurture swimmers along their competitive swimming journey. The club has flourished despite the pandemic and now caters to 60 swimmers aged 7-16 across 5 squads. Most recently has been the addition of a disability/para squad which is the only squad of it’s kind within the Teesside area. Swimmers are regularly competing including at county and regional level and the youth squad recently competed in the Northumberland and Durham Junior Swim League and won, earning promotion to the 2nd League! The club currently operates out of 3 pools across Teesside, including the Unicorn pool in Middlesbrough which was built during the height of the pandemic. It is ran by qualified and experienced coaches and teachers and is primarily volunteer led.

livingyoga

Fluxs Lane

I was first drawn to the healing power of movement in 2008 during my undergraduate degree in Contemporary Dance. I studied therapeutic movement and its effect on emotion. I was lucky to have been invited to visit Kaagvere in Estonia, to volunteer at an institution described as a boarding reformatory school for girls. Many of the young people I encountered here had been exposed to past traumatic events in some cases severe life changing experiences and as a result many faced mental health challenges. It was very humbling to be witness to this short part of their healing journey during my stay in Estonia. I worked alongside a dance and movement therapist to lead daily movement, dance and breathwork as a way for these young people to express emotion, to forge safety amongst their peers and to ground themselves when triggered. I continued my professional training as a dancer for some years after graduating, but this experience stayed with me and very much influenced my journey to becoming a Yoga Teacher and later Yoga Therapist

Beaconsfield

ETHOS / AIMS / BELIEFS The Independent Schools Football Association Ltd. (ISFA) is affiliated to The Football Association and is recognised by The FA as the body responsible for the development of the game in the independent sector. ISFA’s ethos is that of an educational organisation. It aims to create opportunities for children within the sector by organising and encouraging competitions, representative teams and development opportunities as well as providing coaching courses and conferences for staff. ISFA believes strongly in football as a vehicle for education and in the importance of Respect and Fair Play. ISFA is a small organisation, with four members of staff and limited financial resources. Consequently, ISFA is heavily dependent on volunteer teachers to deliver its programme; there must therefore necessarily be limitations on what can be delivered, and the Association must set realistic targets. ISFA believes its role is to provide quality competitions, representative football, etc., and aims to encourage and assist its member schools to provide the quantity in terms of participation through regional tournaments, block friendly fixtures, internal school football, etc.

Having a life-long interest in the countryside, health, well-being, affordability, cruelty-free products and using natural products where possible, I bring the best to my clients by doing the best for the environment in the process.

This position built my confidence, varied retail business and social skills, working with amazing colleagues, as a sales adviser occasionally a weekend manager. Moving forward I started my own business as a beauty and holistic therapist treating my clients in their own homes or local businesses. Always interested in building and growing my business, I have further trained in several holistic therapies, which include aromatherapy individual blends. I am also a qualified Tai Chi for Health instructor with my own classes in Skipton, Craven and Keighley, support local community wellbeing organisations providing healthy lifestyle activities. My family, friends and clients have always helped and encourage me with my career choice, offering to be guinea pigs when I have required models for new treatments and accepting my flexible working hours.

bristol advanced motorcyclists

London

We are an independent motorcycle training organisation affiliated to IAM RoadSmart. We are also an active, friendly and welcoming riders’ club. ABOUT BRISTOL ADVANCED MOTORCYCLISTS Official provider of IAM RoadSmart training in Bristol. Although we are affiliated to the IAM RoadSmart organisation, and an official provider of the RoadSmart programme, Bristol Advanced Motorcyclists is a separate organisation, with charitable status. And whilst one of our primary purposes as an organisation is to provide a coordinated training programme to motorcyclists in Bristol and the west country region, the club is also an active social hub for riders. Participation in the club’s activities isn’t mandatory, but it’s a great way to meet other like-minded riders and to continue developing your skills. Once you’ve gained sufficient experience you may even wish to progress to becoming an IAM RoadSmart Observer yourself, and of course we can guide you towards that achievement too. In addition to the monthly Super Sunday events we also arrange group ride-outs, more extended trips both in the UK and Europe, talks and other social activities. See our News & Events page for more details. Bristol blood bikes There is a close association between BAM and Freewheelers, the charitable organisation that operates the Bristol and south west region Emergency Voluntary Service (commonly known as the ‘Blood Bikes’). All of their volunteer riders must be qualified to Advanced standard and many of these have been trained by the BAM group. You can learn more about Freewheelers here: www.freewheelers.org.uk About the IAM The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) is a national charity organisation, established in 1956, dedicated to increasing road safety by improving driving standards. Both the organisation and the training programme is now known as IAM RoadSmart. RoadSmart is a national training programme for drivers and riders aimed at developing their observation and control skills. The RoadSmart training programme is delivered at regional level by volunteer groups, such as Bristol Advanced Motorcyclists (BAM), who are a designated ‘Official Provider’. All Observers are accredited by IAM RoadSmart. When you begin your training you become an Associate member. Full membership of the IAM is awarded upon successfully achieving the Advanced standard. Once this standard is achieved there are no further testing stages (unless you opt to train to be an Observer) and you become a full, lifetime member of the IAM, subject to an annual renewal fee (currently £42 per year).
