This Girl Can turns 10This Sunday the This Girl Can campaign celebrates it's 10 year anniversary. This award-winning campaign seeks to empower women to stay healthy through physical activity, no matter what their backgrounds are. Our Health Improvement team would love to hear from any sports, physical activity, community groups or clubs, or residents who have an interest in improving the opportunities for women in our borough, particularly those who are most challenged. We would like to be able to bring people together this summer to showcase our clubs and help more women to become active and stay active. Please contact us at: health@tunbridgewells.gov.uk | | |

Got an awkward or bulky item to dispose of? Our bulky waste collection service will remove heavy or large items too big to fit in your bin. To visit the household waste recycling centre at North Farm you must book a slot in advance using the Kent County Council booking system.
