A charity shop dedicated to the memory of a Dartford man is celebrating its first anniversary next month.
The Mental Health Activity Trust (MHAT) opened its doors in March last year and was created in tribute to former Bluewater worker Mark Katnoria.
The 34-year-old tragically died two years ago in Cotton Lake in Crossways Business Park, Dartford, but his psychologist and friend Toni Hale set up an organisation to help other people in difficult circumstances.
She told News Shopper: "We have evolved becoming a drop in centre for those wishing to discuss or get help with mental help problems.

"We are having many activities throughout the year including a speed dating night in April and a rock n' roll evening in June
"There are lots of fundraising going on this year by people who want to help and support us and keep the legacy of Mark Katnoria living on."

Ms Katnoria’s mum, Pat, is one of the organisation’s trustees.
There will be a range of events for the first anniversary at the store in Delacourt Road, Blackheath, including an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party on March 28.
