Testimonials
The use of the rehearsal space at The Thanet has been a key factor in my development as a writer and performer… Nearly all the shows I've written - for London theatres and the Edinburgh Festival - have been rehearsed at The Thanet. For a decade I also ran Saturday morning drama classes at The Thanet, which were free for local children to attend. When at The Thanet, I have always felt part of, supported by, and useful to the local community.

I've been teaching Aikido in various venues, private, council and charity-based. The Thanet is by far the most supportive organisation for a community based project where profit is not the priority. The variety of groups using the facilities - spanning arts, sports, therapy and spiritual groups - creates a unique atmosphere of tolerance, cooperation and respect, which gives all groups the freedom to develop and grow. The volunteers behind The Thanet work hard to cultivate a sense of ownership and responsibility in everyone who enjoys this wonderful place.

The Thanet is a great resource for the fellowships; three different groups hold their weekly meetings here. This work is invaluable - our meetings literally save lives. We turn lives around. The Thanet are obliging, easy to get hold of, and the building itself very much suits our needs.
