We would love to share with you the story of a chap called Ken Powell. Some of you may have heard of Ken, but for those who haven’t, his story is one of the most inspirational you will ever hear.

Ken Powell is a member of North Foreland GC. Encouraged by his Dad, Ken started to play when he was 12 around Ramsgate, before attaining his first full handicap at 14. Ken played in teams for Kent Boys and Kent Youth, and aged 16, he travelled up to play in the British Boys’ Championship at Royal Liverpool in 1974.

In June 2025, the Kent Cricket Foundation welcomed its first-ever Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Project Officer, Gabriella Rolls. Working within the community team, Gabby’s mission is to ensure that cricket, both as a spectator sport and a physical activity, is accessible to everyone in Kent, regardless of their background or circumstances.

It was great to join Emily and Sarah at the Kidz to Adultz event at the Farnborough Airport Exhibition Centre on 12/05/26. What a fantastic event with so many exhibitors, organisations, and of course service users all coming together under one roof. Events like these are such a valuable opportunity to share information, make connections, and celebrate the amazing support available for disabled children, young people, and adults. Already looking forward to attending again next year!

My name is Archie and  I have been a wheelchair user for almost 3 years. Sport has always been a big part of my life so when I started using a wheelchair it was important for me to find ways to still be part of the sports I loved and to find sports where I'd be supported and understood when my health changed...
