Important, Please read and action!

DEAR MEMBERS

We have reached the point in time where although we have a current membership of over 100, we do not appear to have the support necessary to continue to function as we should for much longer.

It would be a great shame if we have to close after over 30 years of existence.

We have for over a year now been without a Chairman, Vice President and some committee members, putting extra pressure on all those who do serve for all your benefits.

Also, we have reached the point where there are very few KENT AMBULANCE SERVICE staff left to retire from the Service so there are not likely to be many more joining us.

Other Retirement Associations have re-named themselves as SOCIAL Associations to enable any Ambulance staff to join 

Therefore, as your committee we put the following questions to you to steer us into the future or to maybe closure. It is up to us all to respond and action but we do appreciate that there are Members that are not in the best of health and are unable to assist but their views still matter.

If you are using the ipad/iphone safari browser, then unfortunately the link to the survey will not work (Thank you Apple!) However if you want to use a better and faster browser, which will work!

Then just go to the appstore and download Chrome 

And start the Kara web page from there....😃​​​​​​

Please click the button which will take you to a simple suvey that should take no more than 5 mins to complete..... as stated above this is about YOUR Associations continuation!

This site has been set up for the benefit of members of the Kent Ambulance Retirement Association.

Design updates and changes will be undertaken as required.

All four previous ambulance areas;
