We are so, so sorry to hear the tragic news about Juliette.
A true Faversham Gem nominated in 2023 for all her time, energy, kindness and compassion as a QEGS Wellbeing Ambassador, helping so many others feel better about themselves.
As Mrs McIlroy, Head Teacher at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, described Juliette, so 'incredibly kind'.
Juliette, simply by being herself, naturally lifted people into wellbeing.
Blessings to all Juliette's family and to all who knew her and have had their lives lifted by hers.

Heartbreaking 💔

Next Wednesday (the 18th) is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent and marks the 40 days to Easter.
It's a time when some people decide to support those who are less fortunate.
If you would like to help the Foodbank this Lent, please choose one or more items to donate from our AdLent Calendar.
