A year ago KCC Councillor Clive Hart was approached for some money to provide assistance to voluntary and community groups in Margate. With the money provided Thanet Voluntary & Community Sector Forum (TVCSF) employed a Development Worker (Lynne Sutton) to work with third sector groups in Clifftonville.With her help Beth Denning of the Margate Community Organisation (MCO) has just managed to secure £92,500 in funding, and they are waiting for news of another application for £10,000.
This follows news reported on the local television just last week that the MCO would have to close due to lack of funding.

Councillor Clive Hart said: “ When I was able to access the original £8,000 funding for a part-time community support worker, my hope was that they might bring in a further £20,000 for the local community and thereby more than double that original investment. This news means that TVCSF, through Lynne Sutton, have already accessed more than ten times that original sum and they truly are an example of community development organisation working at its very, very best.”
