Lindsay Franklin – CEO 

​

I am the current Chief Executive Officer of Tenterden Social Hub, an innovative community based facility supporting the elderly and those suffering with a physical or learning disability. With many years of experience in a corporate and promotional and advertising agency environment, my latter professional life has revolved around health and care in both charitable trusts and social enterprises, including Benenden Hospital and Royal British Legion Industries.

​

My personal mission is to work with our lovely team and supportive stakeholders to raise awareness of what help is available to those who need it most. We are all passionate about delivering the best possible support to the individuals who need it and thus make a real difference to their lives within our community.

​​

I have travelled widely and have a particular passion for the outdoors life, particularly gardening and I am happiest spending time with friends and family and walking my large dog!
