As FoRCE ends our fourth year, my simple reflection is one of thanks &#8211; to those people and organisations who have given their time, skills, gifts or funds to enable us to achieve the impact we have had to-date. Such acts of generosity are fundamental to how we help tackle litter, vandalism and pollution; enrich the biodiversity and aesthetics of our greenspaces; and represent the interests of our community. So, to those of you who have given something this year, we all of us say a very hearty thank you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Medway and Maidstone Soroptimists are one of the organisations that regularly volunteer at the Sensory Garden monthly sessions.
