Youth and Community

Committee Chair: Deborah Coen

The Youth & Community Committee is committed to listening to the residents of Westerham and Crockham Hill and providing a close link between the public and Town, District and County Councillors. The Committee works closely with youth and community focused organisations in Westerham and promotes age appropriate activities for everyone.  The Committee works with West Kent Housing Association to provide activities for young people out of school hours and free Family Fun Days during half term and school holidays. In Crockham Hill the Committee introduced a monthly Coffee, Cake & Chat drop in in the Village Hall.

The Committee receives quarterly reports on policing issues affecting Westerham and Crockham Hill and has direct contact with PCSOs appointed to the area. The Committee supports community initiatives in partnership with other community groups in Westerham and Crockham Hill. The Committee arranges and Westerham and Crockham Hill’s annual Christmas Tree and  Westerham’s’ festive lights and supports year round tourism.

Since the pandemic the Committee has adapted to engaging with the community in new and different ways. We will continue to partner with external providers and share best practice to adapt to the changing needs of our community.
