The Kentish Voice

To provide a voice for businesses, local organisations, groups, clubs, and the residents of Kentish to share their contributions to a thriving community.

Our vision is that the residents and businesses of Kentish Municipality thrive and prosper in a mutually supportive environment. Our mission is to a provide a valued voice for businesses, local organisations, groups and clubs, and the residents of Kentish to share their contributions to a thriving community; and a place to share local news. Our aim as a community publication is threefold. Our firs

t purpose is to connect the residents of Kentish with the businesses that service their needs in their municipality, together with the local facilities, and services that are available to make their life in Kentish work for them. Our second, though equal purpose, is to provide advertising for businesses that service the residents and businesses of Kentish with goods or services at a cost that is affordable yet effective. More customers make a business more resilient and more profitable. We aim to bring you these customers who will provide you with a loyal source of ongoing custom in return for your quality goods and services. We provide you with the opportunity to provide appropriate articles to support your advertising whenever you have a special event or service or product that would be beneficial to our readers. We invite you to submit articles for consideration and placement to compliment your advertisement. As there is no charge for this service we cannot guarantee that the space can be provided. Paid advertisements, or advertorials, do take precedence over unpaid support articles. Our readers actively support our advertisers as they want to have access to the goods and services provided by your business as you are either local or service the Kentish region. Your business success means that you will continue to provide that ongoing service. Our third yet equal purpose is to promote local events and activities to engage our local readers in their community, provide local news and stories together with regular features of interest to a wide variety of readers, and to provide our readers with a forum to air their views on local issues if they so choose. These features make The Kentish Voice readable rather than just an advertising medium, and keeps readers engaged with their community. We hope that you will join us in a mutually beneficial future for Kentish and your business. Lesley and Doug Begg

Due to a production error, the article concerning the Kentish Scouts and their need for new leaders was cut short. Here is the article in full, with contact details.

Please Help

In the last eight weeks Kentish Scout Group has been approached by six new families wanting to join their kids into our Joey’s unit. We would love to welcome these families to our group however we don’t have a Joey Leader.

There is clearly a demand within our community that needs to be met and families can see the value of what our group offers. Our Scout leader is currently running both our Cub and Scout units, a position which is not feasible long term. We need a Joey and a Cub leader to join our group ASAP – is this you?

Please, if you have ever considered donating your time to having fun, learning new skills and enabling our youth to achieve amazing things NOW is the time to contact us.

You don’t need any special skills or training – we provide all of that through a nationally recognised training program.
What you do need to know is…
• Joeys are 5 – 7 years old
• Cubs are 8 – 10 years old
• Meet for 1.5 hours a week, during school terms
• Joeys and Cubs love learning through fun
• You will have programing support from our Scout leader to get you started and ongoing support as needed

Our current Scout leader Raksha (Kylie) had never been associated with Scouts before signing on as a leader 3 years ago. She’d love to chat with you about what she has personally gained from being a leader, including beating her fear of heights and deep water and the personal satisfaction of being there when a youth member smashes through their own fears!

Scouting is so much more than just camping and bushwalking. It’s about empowering our youth with real life skills. Did you see our most recent FB post? Our Scouts can now help you to change a flat tyre and check fluid levels in a car!

We are blessed to live in an amazing community with locals freely reaching out to share their knowledge with our kids. All we need now are leaders to help facilitate this.

If you’re even a little bit curious about how you can be involved, please contact our group Chairperson Tanya on 0438 559 317 or reach out to us through our FB page Kentish Scout Group/Troop.
We’re looking forward to meeting you!

AEVA's third webinar for 2024 will be held on Thursday the 27th of June at 8 pm AEST (7.30 pm SA/NT and 5 pm in WA). This month, we're discussing the second-hand EV market. Two-thirds of all vehicles sold in Australia are used, and represent the bulk of most Australian household car purchases. With many fleet EVs hitting the second-hand market at the same time as a new EV price war, the market is in for a ride!
Hosted by AEVA's director for Victoria, Riz Akhtar, our panel of experts will briefly present some of their own insights into the used EV world before an open discussion with a live Q&A chatbox. Join Riz, along with Bridie Schmidt (NRMA), Jaeme Ogilvie (IonDNA) and a representative from Pickles Austions, as we also discuss some of the things to look for in a used EV - how to assess the battery state of health, and whether you're still covered by warranty.
For more information about our panel, and to register for the webinar, click here: https://www.aeva.asn.au/events/777/
The webinar is free for AEVA members, or $15 for non-members. We aim to have at least half a dozen webinars each year, so it's worth joining the association for access to these alone!
After registering, an email containing the Zoom link for the webinar will be sent to you - please register for this webinar ahead of the start time. If you miss it - never fear as a recording of the webinar will be made available for all registrants.
We hope to see you on the 27th!
Sincerely,
The AEVA.

The AEVA's third webinar for 2024 will be held on Thursday the 27th of June at 8 pm AEST. This month, we're covering used EVs - where are prices headed? And what should you look out for when shopping around?

Four days left to register: World Literacy Foundation seeking Youth Ambassadors from Australia
"Learning is a great experience in life, and we should use it to help people worldwide," said Christian Olson McCormack, a 17-year-old boy who completed the World Literacy Foundation’s Youth Ambassador Programme in 2023.
This initiative aims to provide young people between the ages of 15 and 25 with tools in communication, fundraising, leadership, and advocacy through a four-month online training program so that they can help bring about change in their communities through literacy.
This role provides a unique platform for Australian youth to address falling reading skills rates and expand community education and awareness about the importance of foundational literacy skills.
"I would recommend joining the WLF program because of the experiences you gain through the module tasks, information about WLF and other changemakers’ stories, and understanding the experiences of like-minded young people you meet from all over the world that you are still connected with even after the program," shared Christian.
The four-month youth leadership development initiative will offer comprehensive training and support and connect participants with 2,400 other people worldwide.
“Conscious of the impact of illiteracy, we want to train young people around the world to become change-makers in their own country or region,” said Lorena Torres, global coordinator for the Youth Ambassador Program at the World Literacy Foundation.
“When we help someone acquire literacy skills, we empower them with access to better opportunities in life and break the poverty cycle. We train young ambassadors to help us eradicate illiteracy.”
Interested individuals can learn more and register at https://worldliteracyfoundation.org/ambassador-program/ .
The World Literacy Foundation is a leading not-for-profit charity striving to eradicate illiteracy by 2040. The Foundation works in 52 countries and reaches 500 million people each year.
