Kenward Will Change Lives Ball

Kim and Will Webster

Kenward Trust are proud to be hosting our very first Kenward Will Change Lives Ball, 15th March 2025 at the Mercure Hotel, Maidstone. 

Our mission is to raise awareness and funds to support our Youth Services Team who run life saving intervention and prevention Think Differently programs in schools around Kent.

We are holding this in memory of Will, Kim Webster’s son who tragically died July 2018 from experimental drug misuse one night. Kim is our Youth Executive who helps to deliver the Intervention talks in schools around Kent.

What happened to Will, is every parent’s worst nightmare. He had a bright future ahead of him in the Army, he had just successfully completed his army assessment and was ready to start his lifelong dream.

One night he went out with a friend and after a few drinks they were offered Tramadol as a recreational high. His friend survived but tragically Will had a reaction and died. This goes to show that drug experimentation can be literally like the flip of a coin, heads you’re ok, tails you are not.
