Heather House Community cafe

Heather House is a newly renovated community hub, cafe, and food bank in Sittingbourne, Kent. After a £62,000 transformation, the centre now offers a welcoming space for anyone seeking support, advice, or simply a hot drink and a sandwich.

  • Free meals for children when accompanied by a paying adult, available year-round.
  • A food bank and pantry stocked with fresh fruit, vegetables, and meals for those in need.
  • Domestic violence support and other essential facilities.
  • A play area for children, making the space family-friendly.
  • Pay it forward: You can donate towards someone else's food, helping others in the community.
