Community Grant Donation
20 Feb 2026
On Monday 9 February, Sandra Steeves & Elizabeth Harding, co-chairs of The Arts Society Royal Tunbridge Wells, were delighted to present a cheque for £250 to the children’s charity Demelza. This was made possible by our successful application for a Community Grant from The Arts Society Head Office.
Katie Hook, Demelza’s Area Fundraising Manager, kindly attended our lecture at The Trinity Theatre and accepted the cheque. She spoke movingly about the work at Demelza and we hope that this small donation will help towards providing art therapy for the children in their care.
In response, Demelza have said: A big thank you to The Arts Society Royal Tunbridge Wells! Your generosity helps us continue providing vital care and support to children, young people, and families who need us. Thank you so much for all your support - it truly makes a difference.
