On the 31st of May 2009 Michelle and I went along to Mid Kent Fisheries with some of the children. We were to be one of the recipients of the money raised over that weekend from the 'Fishing with the Stars' competition; this was the 2nd year running that we had been lucky enough to receive a donation.
Whilst talking to Mid Kent Fisheries and firming up the time and date Chris (from the fisheries) told me that it would in fact be Scott Maslen (Jack Branning of Eastenders) who would once again be presenting the cheque, we of course were delighted having met him last year. I spoke with Chris about setting aside some time to talk with Scott about the possibility of him becoming a patron for Kent Kids Miles of Smiles. As we had met before and he knew something about us, I felt we had nothing to lose and so much to gain, from having him as a patron. As you can imagine we were delighted that Scott agreed to become our patron, and we are thrilled to have our work recognised and endorsed by him, his dedication and commitment will be a huge asset to the charity and we are honored to welcome this popular star to our team. Our partnership will give us an amazing platform to increase awareness and reach further into the community. Increased awareness will help us to raise further funds to support and enhance the excellent work of Kent Kids Miles of Smiles. We hope through the partnership our message will go county wide and that our children, young people and their families, who are at the centre of everything we do, will benefit from the increased support we can offer them. Scott will be at the Music in the Garden event at Redwalls on the 26th July, to make his official announcement. We look forward to seeing Scott and all of you there Liz Baxter Head of Fundraising
