Local MP

Our local MP (for Sittingbourne & Shppey) Kevin McKenna and Swale CVS (Community & Voluntary Services) hosted a Mental Health Conference at Sheerness Dockyard's Island Works on Friday (9th May).

The day brought together a wide range of VCSE organisations in Swale, all committed to the same goal—supporting better mental health for everyone in our community.

There were a series of themed workshops exploring real challenges and opportunities across the sector.

Gordon Henderson, Member of Parliament for Sittingbourne and Sheppey, has announced he will be standing down at the next General Election.

Mr Henderson made the announcement in a speech at the Sittingbourne and Sheppey Conservative Association Annual General Meeting earlier this eveening (Friday 17^th March) in front of members.

Before becoming an MP, Mr Henderson was elected to both Swale Borough Council, where he was twice Deputy Leader, and Kent County Council.
