My Campaign to Save Faversham Cottage Hospital

Save Faversham Cottage Hospital Poster

Faversham Cottage Hospital has now been shut for five weeks, and the longer it stays closed the less likely it is to reopen. That is deeply concerning.

I was never warned about its closure, and it has happened without any consultation of the local community.

This hospital has served families for over a century. Generations of people in the local area have depended on it, and it provides a valuable service helping people recover and return home. Its closure is heartbreaking, and people deserve better than to see such a precious part of our community out of use.

I know how much this hospital matters, which is why I am urging residents to come to the public meeting. The more of us who attend, the stronger the message we send that Faversham needs its Cottage Hospital open and serving local people.

Sign my petition here to send a message about how much we care.

Event details: 
📍 The Alexander Centre, 15–17 Preston Street, Faversham, ME13 8NZ 
📅 Tuesday, 2 September 
🕖 7pm to 8.30pm (doors open at 6.30pm, with tea and coffee available)
