Reconnect programme
Getting them thriving after the pandemic
It's time to reconnect
Reconnect is a Kent County Council led, community based programme designed to get Kent’s children and young people thriving following the pandemic. We understand the importance of keeping children of all ages and abilities active this summer, which is why we will be offering the following sessions at a discounted price to help local children in receipt of free school dinners or with SEN needs have fun, engage in sports and regain their confidence.
Please note that various sessions will require children to be in receipt of free school meals, or hold a Reconnect saver card. Please refer to your chosen session for more details.
