A joyous ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’ marks 45 Years of Tenterden Social Hub!

To celebrate an incredible 45 years of our charity serving the community, Tenterden Social Hub hosted a vibrant, themed tea party, complete with music, laughter and plenty of dancing.

Guests were treated to a fabulous performance by singer Annie Riley, whose lively set had everyone singing and dancing along in true party spirit.

It was heartening to see so many people come together to honour this milestone, including our wonderful members, dedicated staff, volunteers, trustees, and supporters. Among the attendees were Councillor Wayne Chapman, Dr Raymond Crawfurd—founder of the Hub—and Jan West, Community Champion at Tesco Tenterden.

A fantastic time was had by all, and we’re thrilled to share the joy and smiles from a truly memorable day.
