Hello everyone, my name is Kelly and I am a practitioner and also a member of the management team at 2J's pre-school Gillingham.

I am trying to raise funds to provide our setting with a new roof as due to wear and tear over the years it has deteriorated and now its causing problems inside the building.

2J's has been at the Strand in Gillingham since 2013. It provides children between the ages of 2 to 5yrs the opportunity to enjoy a fun day in a safe, warm and stimulating environment. Learning through play is so important at this young age, and it gives children a variety of experiences that they may not otherwise experience. The children learn new skills and develop a passion for learning that will last a life time.

Over the years the costs of living and lack of funding means that when things go wrong we do not have the available funds to get things fixed/replaced straight away.

The hall and field is also used by the local community group Medway Archers. Here is the link to find out the history of Medway Archers.

Please please please could you help us get a new roof, so that the pre-school and Medway Archers will stay dry and continue to support the local community
