Launch of the 2013 Canterbury & District Sports Awards

Well done and thank you to everyone that turned out for the launch day today.  We had a fantastic turn out and we certainly drew the biggest crowds of the day with some amazing Martial Arts!

To perform as you all did in-front of the public takes courage and you can all be very proud.  We had lots of compliments and when a passing policeman comments on the “fantastic discipline and focus” of the young students this confirms what a great family we have.

A huge thank you to all family and friends who came along to support us too.  Your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Thank you to everyone in the MF Kent Team!

Working with Bring Our Buddy (BOB)

Posted on: May 4th, 2013 by David Finch

Bring Our Buddy & MF Kent

We are very proud to announce that the MF Kent Family are officially working with Bring Our Buddy (BOB).  BOB, a service of Voluntary Action Within Kent is a community based service supporting young people across Kent who have a mild/moderate disability.

Our classes and teaching methods have been recognised to have a potentially huge benefit for young children with the aim of giving them the confidence to be who ever they wish to be.  In addition, we believe that we have some wonderful students of our own who could well prove to be inspiring “Buddies”.

If you would like to know more details about BOB, volunteering as a Buddy or finding out more about their services do not hesitate to contact me.
