Get Involved in Your Community

January 9, 2017 by Bethersden Parish Council

Within Bethersden village there are lots of opportunities to get out and about and volunteer for your community.  Volunteering just a couple of hours a week can have a host of benefits including:

  • Make a difference and be part of a community
  • Help you meet different kinds of people and make new friends.
  • Learn new skills
  • Have fun!

You can volunteer for a local charity cause or through membership of a club or society. There is plenty to choose from, and below is a sample of the opportunities we have available in our community:

Sports and Societies

Bethersden has a number of sports and societies that help bring the community together and keep us active throughout the year.  If you would like to help out and get involved in any of the clubs, either by participating or helping with fundraising, simply visit ‘Clubs and Societies‘ and click on the relevant page for more information.

Speedwatch

Our Village is fortunate to have a Speedwatch team who have the necessary equipment to track the speed of cars as they pass through our Village.  You can volunteer as much of your time as you can. For further information about Speedwatch and how to get involved, please contact Gordon Rye on gordonrye@hotmail.com

Friends of St Maragret’s

St Margaret’s Church has stood in the heart of the village for over 1,000 years and The Friends of St Margaret’s is here to help ensure that it continues to do so for generations to come.   The Friends organise a number of fundraising events during the year and have a dedicated team of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer please contact, Mary Ford at 01233 820989 / brushwood1@hotmail.co.uk.  For further information about the Friends visit their webpage.

Parish Records Society

Our Parish Records Society has an essential role within in our community to help preserve our history for future generations.   It holds numerous documents, many of which date back to the early 16th century.  These unique and treasured documents are managed by an elected committee and volunteers.  For full information you can visit their webpage.   To volunteer please contact the Keepers of the Records as follows:  Brian Robinson 01233 820687 / brian@islandfarm.co.uk  and Bert Kingsnorth 01233 860648 / kingsbury@tiscali.co.uk
