Home-Start Medway Home-Start Medway provides non-judgemental support to families in Medway who have children under 5.

We do this by recruiting and training volunteers who have been parents themselves. The volunteers visit the families once a week, support is tailored to the family’s needs. The families are referred to us, either by a professional working with the family or by the families themselves. We are a registered charity and play an active part in Medway’s voluntary and community sector. We operate across Medway and cover Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester and the surrounding areas. We have a central office where our team is based and where we run most of our volunteer training from.

🥕 Now open at The Pentagon – Chatham’s new Community Food Shop!

We’re delighted to welcome the SEK Community Food Shop to The Pentagon Shopping Centre, providing affordable groceries and additional support for people across Medway.

📍 You’ll find the new shop on the first floor of The Pentagon.

Monday–Saturday: 10am–6pm
Sunday: Closed

And importantly, it’s open to everyone in Medway – there’s no referral or membership needed.

Shoppers can pick up good-quality food at affordable prices, including bags of fruit and vegetables for just £1, with surplus food also being redistributed to help reduce food waste.

The shop also includes a dedicated community space where visitors can access advice and support around budgeting, energy costs, finances and other local services.

Operated by Social Enterprise Kent, the new Community Food Shop is all about making good food more affordable while creating a welcoming place where people can access support when they need it.

A fantastic new addition to The Pentagon and Chatham town centre. 💙
