KCC January 2026 Newsletter

January 2026

Happy New Year to everyone, we hope you all have had a great break, whilst avoiding the flu that has been doing the rounds.

2025 has been a great start for the renovated building, usage is increased and being more accessible and inclusive has had such a positive impact on the increased delivery of services and working partnerships.

The team would like to thank everyone for their continued support and here's to a bigger year in 2026.
