Medway... We are incredibly busy at the moment in Medway - our weekly Sunday Soup kitchen sees in excess of 75 people every week - THANK you to all our lovely volunteers who, rain or shine make it happen!! We do much more than just feed people - the soup kitchen allows people to approach us for further help - so during the week we help with accommodation, health appointments, form filling, and guidance.
