Good causes that apply to become KM Charity of the Year 2016 can’t fail to hit the mark.

One winning charity will be championed per newspaper in the KM Group including Dartford and Gravesend Messenger; Thanet Extra; Kentish Gazette; Medway Messenger; Sheerness Times Guardian; Maidstone Messenger; Kentish Express; and East Kent Mercury.

Each submission will be read by the relevant paper’s editor giving the applicant an unrivalled opportunity to raise their profile within the local community.

Simon Dolby from the KM Group’s charity department said: “Our editors want to find a cause with a vision that grabs their attention and will resonate with their readership. Every application is looked at very carefully so make sure yours is the best it can be.”

He added: “Take the time to really shout about your charity’s plans for the coming year. Applications that excite the editor could get featured in a one-off news story even if the cause is not selected as a winner.”

Each winning cause will receive 12 months of support from their local KM newspaper, KentOnline and kmfm radio as well as access to a range of fundraising opportunities.
