Welcome to the Spring edition of the West Kent Family Grapevine. We've been busy updating our listings to make sure we're providing you with the most up to date information possible. We want more though! If you run a business families should know about, you can submit your business listing for free. We're also looking out for fantastic local events we can place on our website 'What's On' page, so if you are holding one and would like it publicised for free, you can submit it on our website. This edition we've dispensed with our Events page as we have too many to publish. Instead just head over to our website to view them all there! For the next few editions we're delighted to have Successful Mum's providing advice on questions commonly asked by parents looking to return to work or start their own business. If you have a specific question do contact Jane or email us and we'd be happy to pass it on. We've also included some information about Kent Baby Matters, they offer some incredible free assistance to new mums and are running some lovely events to raise funds to continue their work, please do support them. May we wish everyone a great Spring and we look forward to catching up with you in our Summer edition. In the meantime we're online, on facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
