Connected Kingston January issue 
Discover more in 2020  

Throughout January and February, we will be promoting our campaign ‘Discover more in 2020’. Residents will be encouraged to visit the Connected Kingston website to discover a new hobby, meet new people or get active.

There will be billboards around the borough, posters on neighbourhood boards, notices up in GP surgeries and social media posts. We have created a toolkit with ready to use posts, tweets, and content and we would love to hear from you about how you will be encouraging people to ‘Discover more in 2020’.

If you have any questions or would like tailored posters please get in touch with communications@kva.org.uk
