Christmas charity events in Kent

We all know Christmas is about so much more than presents and food and drink; it’s about gathering together, charity, and truly being part of a community. This year, on top of the Christmas markets, Christmas events and light trails, we’re sharing our top ways to give back to the local community, whether through Santa runs, Boxing Day dips, or simply buying gifts and decorations that help benefit those in need.
