Anne Robson Helpline

Introducing the Anne Robson Helpline – if you or someone close to you is dying, you can talk to us.

At the Anne Robson Trust we aim to be there to listen to anyone who faces dying or the imminent death of someone they care about.  We know that facing the end of life can leave you feeling isolated and alone.

Being able to access support is so important. Gaining knowledge of what may happen towards the end of life and being prepared helps both the person dying and their loved ones to feel a sense of control.

Calls are free and confidential. Call us on 0808 801 0688 – we have time to talk

No Mow May

Let your lawn grow throughout May and provide a carpet of flowers for our pollinators to feed on. Even leaving a small patch of your lawn uncut will make a big difference. Join this campaign by the charity PlantLife to make a difference.

Kent’s Plan Bee team have been busy behind the scenes pulling together many KCC departments to put aside mowing some of the land they manage this May.

Now, we want to know how this links into the wider Kent landscape and see who else is taking part in No Mow May. Whether a garden or allotment, or you’re a business or landowner looking to pledge a larger piece of land, we want to hear what you have planned!

For more information, resources and to make your pledge visit www.kent.gov.uk/nomowmay
