Welcome to the Three Rivers Partnership website.

This website has lots of information about Three Rivers, its activities and the ways that you can be involved. You can print off a membership form, retrieve information on what is going on and more.

We hope that you will find it easy to find the information that you want and give feedback and suggestions on anything here. For information on how to navigate this website click on How to use this site at the top or bottom of the page.

A lot has happened in the past week or so: Contracts signed, first turf cut and work has begun on the Hardings Lane site.
The RiversMeet Centre is now scheduled for completion early Spring 2010, and will open its doors on Wednesday 31st March 2010, exactly two years after it closed

The first draw of the Three Rivers Community lottery will now take place on Friday 22nd May.
On Saturday 18th April we will be outside Lidl and Somerfield in Gillingham High Street telling people about the lottery and helping them to sign up. If you haven't joined the lottery yet, please come and see us!

We now have a JustGiving page, which will give our fundraisers another method of collecting the funds they've raised.

If people wish to pay by debit or credit card, simply ask them to use our JustGiving page to donate. Nothing could be easier!

It is a secure site, so you can be sure that your card details are protected.

Our site is at www.justgiving.com/ttrp . You'll find the link under "useful links" on the left-hand navigation.

From this page you can make a donation or set up a page for your own fundraising activities and ensure that the money comes straight to Three Rivers

The 2009 Annual General Meeting will be held on Tuesday 12th May at Gillingham Primary School, School Road, Gillingham. The meeting will commence at 7.30pm.

A notice of this meeting has been sent either by post or electronically to all 3RP members, and we hope to see you all there on May 12th. Further information will be posted on this site after the deadline for the nomination of new Trustees closes on Tuesday 21st April 2009

Members have made suggestions for the new name of the community/leisure facility, and the Trustees have whittled the list down to four. You'll have the chance to vote for your favourite at the AGM, and Chairman Mark Hebditch will announce the new name at the end of the meeting. If you can't be at the meeting, you can vote using the poll at the bottom left of this page

The Three Rivers Community Lottery was launched on Thursday 5th March. The Community Lottery will raise funds for the community leisure centre on Hardings Lane in Gillingham.

A new website has been set up with information on the community lottery and how it works, and the all-important winning numbers will be posted on the site when the weekly draws begin on Friday 22nd May
The website, www.threeriverscommunitylottery.co.uk will be updated with information on the lottery over the coming months.

Lottery membership leaflets are available around the town from shops and businesses, including Orchard Park Garden Centre, Big Fills and A&R Tiles. You can also print off a membership form from the community lottery website.

Here's a few ideas for fund raising: Please let us know if you are putting on an event to raise funds for the new facility, and we can help you publicise it. Read the fund raising pack online or download a copy
