Sainsbury's Faversham

Thrift & Thrive (Medway) has risen from the ashes of Gillingham Street Angels. We are a new enterprise dedicated to supporting the residents in Medway who are facing challenges such as the cost-of-living gap, social isolation, unemployment, poor mental health and difficulties in accessing health and social care. Our mission is to reduce food waste and minimize landfill while fostering creativity, confidence, and practical skills through recycling, repurposing, and reusing. We provide compassionate, non-judgmental support by offering essentials such as food, clothing, bedding, and companionship during times of crisis. Our services include a free school uniform bank, a community soup bar, hunger relief meals, and programs designed to improve skills and combat social isolation. Through charity shops, recycling initiatives, inclusive volunteering, and free health and wellbeing services, we create opportunities for everyone to thrive. By collaborating with local agencies, we empower individuals with the knowledge and resources to improve their life chances.
