We’re super excited to be supporting The Perfect Place To Grow!
The Perfect Place to Grow is a not-for-profit café and training kitchen, situated in Margate, that supports 18-24 year olds who are not in education or work, into long-term, sustainable employment. Young people learn in the kitchen alongside working in a wide range of related trades – whether that is at a farm, a dairy or a fishing boat – in order to teach the skills and receive the support needed to change their long-term futures.
Thanet is a wonderful and exciting seaside destination, but in contrast to its image, it also has the second highest youth unemployment rate in the Southeast at a staggering 10.1%* (the national average is a mere 5.4% in comparison), and The Perfect Place to Grow is situated in one of the most deprived areas in the country.

We will work closely with The Perfect Place To Grow in various ways, including but not limited to, helping raise funds, through contributions via our guest lists for music events. And, in collaboration with our various partners, including LevyUK supporting young people at The Perfect Place To Grow with a variety of work experience placements.
