Even though the temperature has risen a few degrees, for those who are sleeping rough, the nights are still very cold, long and miserable. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has pressed the DONATE button at the top of this page and sent us a gift of money so we can help homeless and vulnerable people in Maidstone. Your kindness has made a real difference. Thank you.
We are open from 8am to 1.30pm Monday to Thursday and 8am to 11.30 on Friday
During this very cold weather we are also open on Saturday mornings from 9am to 11am as emergency provision for homeless men and women.

We are a Maidstone based charity that runs a highly acclaimed day centre for homeless and vulnerable men and women as well as a thriving community food share scheme called Food for Thought.
Our aims are to make a difference to the lives of some of the most disadvantaged people in our area and we can only carry out our work because of the kindness and support of members of the community and people like you, who visit our website. This new website incidentally is designed and hosted by one of our supporters, PA Web Services Ltd so a huge thank you from all of us.
The men and women who come through the door of Maidstone Day Centre each morning may be old friends or new faces. The previous night they may have been sleeping rough, in a squat or on the floor of someone else’s flat. Sometimes people arrive at the Day Centre as a last resort, carrying such a huge burden of longstanding problems that they feel helpless, totally alone and very frightened. The message from staff and volunteers is that help is available and that together we can work towards finding that light at the end of the tunnel. Stepping over the threshold of the Day Centre can be a first step to turning a life around' |
