"There are so many fantastic charities in Medway, and I am really proud to be supporting two of them in Caring Hands and Slide Away this year. Both of these charities make a real difference in people’s lives, providing support, advice and a friendly face at what could be somebody’s lowest point,”
Cllr. Clarke.

Caring Hands is delighted to be honoured and have our work for homeless people in Medway highlighted in this way.
Donate to the Mayor’s charities
Anyone can donate to the Mayor’s chosen charities, including people who live in and outside of Medway, individuals, groups, and businesses.
You can donate any amount. Your donation will be split equally between the charities.
To make a donation you’ll need:
a debit or credit card and the cardholder’s details: name, email postal address.

If someone were to offer you a crumpled £20, chances are you would take it. The note may be battered, torn or dirty but its value remains the same.
​
The people we encounter have had a tough time in life; they are homeless and often vulnerable. But, like the £20 note, we believe that everyone has value, and that a person's past or current circumstances do not diminish their worth or their potential. It is our aim to restore the self-confidence of our guests, helping them overcome addictions and other barriers. READ MORE
