Where we work
If you are facing financial hardship or had a change in personal circumstance, then we are here to help you.
We work across Ashford, Dover, Folkestone & Hythe, Gravesend, Maidstone, Medway, Swale and Thanet. If you live outside these areas please get in touch and we will try to assist you by signposting you to a local food bank.
In the first instance, we suggest everyone applies to the Kent Support and Assistance Service (KSAS) as they may be able to offer further assistance. Also to provide support and assistance during the Covid Pandemic Kent County Council have launched a new service Kent Together. There is a 24 hour access number to support vulnerable people in Kent who need urgent help, supplies or medication on: 03000 41 92 92.
This helpline provides a single, convenient point of contact for anyone in the county who is in urgent need of help during the Coronavirus outbreak. It is a collaboration between KCC, central government, district, borough and local councils, the voluntary and community sector, the NHS, emergency services and other partners to ensure help is at hand for vulnerable people. It is also the place to report your concerns about the welfare of someone else.
If you are vulnerable and have an urgent need that cannot be met through existing support networks, you can contact the Kent Together at www.kent.gov.uk/KentTogether or by calling on 03000 419292
