BIG thanks to Whitstable Museum for the safe keeping of Gamecock's transom. AND big thanks to the volunteers who helped move it - the transom weighed a tonne (well, a few kgs!)

We just completed Work Experience Week, connecting ~15 students and 9 businesses. Fabulous event, students gained valuable insights to a wide range of organisations (private, public and non-for-profit sector) and heard about various career journeys and opportunities. BIG thanks to our partners at the Kent & Medway Careers Hub for helping put this together. Working with local schools, hearing feedback from the students today on their experience was fantastic!
