A Marvellous Day of Connection and Creativity

Canterbury, UK – June 6, 2025 – What a fantastic day it was as the Warnborough Foundation recently hosted its vibrant Community Engagement Day! The event was a true testament to the power of coming together, offering a rich tapestry of creative, hands-on workshops and invaluable opportunities to connect with our incredible community partners. The atmosphere was buzzing with enthusiasm as attendees seized the opportunity to acquire new skills and explore how they could contribute to positive change within our community. Here’s a glimpse into the highlights that made the day a resounding success: “The energy and passion shared by everyone who attended was truly inspiring,” said Dr Brenden Tempest-Mogg, Chair of the Warnborough Foundation. “It was a joy to see so many individuals engaging, learning, and making connections that will undoubtedly foster further positive action in our local area.” A huge thank you to all our dedicated workshop leaders, fantastic partners, and every single person who joined us and made the Community Engagement Day such an unforgettable success.

New Compass AAY Cohort Begins: November 2023

Meet Some Aspirant Individuals The Warnborough Foundation’s new flagship All About You (AAY) programme under the Compass brand has begun with a new cohort of aspirant participants. The programme’s success means that anyone of any age can benefit. See some of the initial responses and stories of our aspirant participants below.  Keira (Ashford) Keira says, “I was happy in school before lockdown. I had lots of friends, enjoyed school work, and was interested in following a career in professional dancing, photography, or interior design. When I returned to school in year 11, I could not cope with the structure and the big classes. I now have no friends because I don’t go out”. Keira wants her ‘All About You’ coaching course to help her achieve her dreams and goals. She wants to have more confidence to talk to more people and become more focused with her work. Chris (Margate) This is Chris at his first AAY session. Chris says his goal is “I want to find out what I can go with into work. I want that I feel confident to manage. I’m doing AAY because I think you will listen to me and help. I want to develop my skills, health and energy as I go through the course”. We certainly believe you will do swimmingly well, Chris! Jerrard (Ashford) Jerrard is looking to join the army. With the support of his coach Sheila, he wants to put together a CV and develop his interview skills.Good luck Jerrard! We can’t wait to see what the future holds Michelle (Canterbury) Michelle says “I feel more empowered to make changes in my life. I’ve rediscovered who I am and the skills I have and I’m using my new confidence to tackle the things that I was stuck on so I can move forward in my life. I feel lighter and happier in myself and always leave the session with lots of practical ideas and feeling hopeful and excited”.
