This last year has been historic. The challenge of COVID 19 has revealed some incredible goodwill in our community - a will and spirit which we should never forget.

The 'mystery mural' is a project designed to help our children and community to remember how community-spirit prevailed during the pandemic. The mural will be full of positivity, reflections on children's experiences and celebrating those people we love (family at home, family a long way away, those who have inspired others).

The project is simple.

A local primary school have agreed that their children will do drawings and designs based on their experience of lockdown. This will begin next week.

Then a local artist will take the children's designs and using those designs will paint up a wall in our town that is prone to graffiti tags.

All permissions for the use of this large wall have already been gained.

We need to raise £1000 from the community to make this project happen. Any extra raised will be donated to the FAR Academy in Whitstable to help run street art projects with local young people.

The mural will appear one year after we went into lockdown to help us remember those lost and improve the environment for us all.
