Kent CRP and Grow 19

In 2019 Kent CRP worked with Five Acre Wood School to redevelop the front of Snodland Station. Following the success of this project and the community links between us, it made perfect sense to also form a partnership with Grow 19, particularly as some of the students from Five Acre Wood have now enrolled at Grow 19.

Grow 19 is a Further Education College for learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. The college was set up by Five Acre Wood to support students between 19 and 25. All learners have an Education Health Care Plan.

 

In 2020, Grow 19 constructed planters on the platforms at Wateringbury station for our station adoption group, repeating this successful work at Cuxton station in 2021.

We have kept in touch and were delighted that their students could help prepare the site for our Community Mural at Maidstone Barracks in 2023.

Grow 19 are looking to adopt our West Malling and Kings Hill station with plans to construct and care for planters on the station forecourt, to make the area more attractive for rail users.
