Welcome to BTCV in Kent
Our work addresses the wider issues of encouraging personal development, building sustainable communities, reducing social exclusion and improving people's health. Our projects are open to anyone, whatever your background and interests.
Through our strong local partnerships and with over 45 years of experience, we have developed a collection of successful projects. Across Kent, we offer diverse training opportunities, Green Gyms, a network of community warden schemes, and a range of practical activities. We also operate The Singleton Environment Centre in Ashford in partnership with Ashford Borough Council.
