Q2: What were your initial impressions? I have not visited but enjoy reading the social media posts that are both motivating and inspiring. Q3: How has Fourth Portal inspired you? The paper exhibition was a brilliant way to get me back into making my collage work. Q4: Will the inspiration be of benefit in the future? The initial entry with inclusion in the newspaper has boosted my confidence enough to set up a website (www.janesherwoodartist.co.uk ) soon to go live, and enter other open calls including the R.A. Summer Exhibition. Q5: (optional) Anything you wish to add? Previous Next

< Back Joe Cleary Local-born and bred Joe Cleary is one-half of Hypermedia events who run monthly events within the Fourth Portal since August 2023. I first discovered the Fourth Portal in July 2023 from a friend of mine Harriet; she had been coming in since very close to the opening date, I believe. Q1: How and when did you first discover the Fourth Portal? I first discovered the Fourth Portal in July 2023 from a friend of mine Harriet; she had been coming in since very close to the opening date, I believe. Q2: What were your initial impressions? I was captivated from the off - if I'm being totally honest. Everywhere you look for longer than a couple of seconds, you find something new to interest you that all seem to amalgamate into one fluid entity. It's a must-have for Gravesend and Kent alike. Q3: How has Fourth Portal inspired you? The Fourth Portal has bridged the gap between my "imposter" syndrome and my ADHD and gave me the confidence and as equally important, the facility and encouragement to pursue my passions, which otherwise would remain an echo chamber in my head. It's been a very vital tool in allowing me to give myself a fair chance and level the playing field. Q4: Will the inspiration be of benefit in the future? The inspiration is not only of an emotional and support benefit for someone like myself, but it is also shaping up to be a major contribution to the event me and co-founder, Harriet run here one Wednesday a month, which is a complete bi-product of us just coming here to chill out and take in our surroundings. Q5: (optional) Anything you wish to add? I would like to thank Harriet, John, Lauren and all the people behind the scenes for the work they put in. I would also like to thank everyone who has attended hypermedia in any format and Harriet for all she does. Previous Next

Previous Next On 9 February 2024, a large-scale mass casualty exercise, codenamed 'Exercise Red Ship', took place aboard the historic lightship LV21 in Gravesend Reach. This significant event was one of the largest exercises ever conducted on the River Thames. The exercise involved multiple emergency services, including Gravesend RNLI's lifeboat Olive Laura Deare II, London Coastguard, Port of London Authority, Kent Fire and Rescue Service, and South East Coast Ambulance Service. Seven volunteer actors from the Casualties Union participated as injured casualties, simulating various injuries such as burns, fractures, and smoke inhalation. The exercise provided an invaluable opportunity for these agencies to collaborate and enhance their emergency response procedures in a realistic, controlled environment. RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) The RNLI is a charity dedicated to saving lives at sea, operating a fleet of lifeboats and lifeguard services around the UK and Ireland.

London Coastguard (Maritime and Coastguard Agency – MCA) The London Coastguard, part of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), coordinates maritime search and rescue operations across the Thames and surrounding coastal areas. They oversee emergency responses to incidents on the river, ensuring swift and effective action. Port of London Authority (PLA) The Port of London Authority (PLA) manages safety, navigation, and environmental protection across 95 miles of the tidal Thames. They work closely with emergency services, commercial operators, and river users to maintain security and respond to incidents. Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) Kent Fire and Rescue Service provides firefighting, search and rescue, and emergency response across Kent and Medway. Their crews are trained in water rescue and hazardous incident management, making them essential in river-based emergencies.
