Thanet, makes it really unique and personal. The magazine is packed with loads of news and things to do, making it not only useful but an enjoyable read to. After reading Youth Matters, I can see no reason for young people in
Thanet to have nothing to do and it’s really down to the many great clubs, events and activities put on by the Engage partnership who work hard to improve life for young people in the area.”
