Kent Connects won Socitm’s ‘Digital Innovation Award’ 2014 (sponsored by IBM) for the ‘Transformed by you’ digital inclusion and engagement initiative.
We have run this event for seven years and Noel Hatch has been instrumental to the success of the initiative. This year’s Transformed by You event is being held on 29 November.
Transformed by You was shortlisted by the OuiShare awards for the work it has been doing to help people develop solutions to community problems.
Transformed by You has been working in every district across Kent, supporting projects such as MyCycle and Kemuri Sense, which are now being rolled out to Kent residents.
Kent Connects was chosen as one of six finalists in the Local e-Government Team Excellence category of the e-Government National Awards 2008.

The GC Awards – rewarding excellence in public sector IT – were the original and most prestigious awards for using technology to raise the game in public services.
In 2009, in a unique and innovative collaboration, Kent and Medway authorities fulfilled Government Connects’ requirements through Kent Connects and the Kent Public Service Network.
