Introducing Moat Foundation

We’re all about investing in people and communities. If you’re facing additional challenges due to age, ill-health, disability, financial difficulties or simply want to build your confidence and make new friendships – we’re here to support you.

Moat Foundation Wellbeing Studio Launch

How we’re here for you

Everyone needs different help, whether it’s career advice, education, financial guidance, a helping hand with everyday essentials, or to join in with your community - we’re here for you and want to help if we can.

Through our Community Hubs in Essex, Gravesend, Sittingbourne, Stanhope, and the Wellbeing Studio in Pollards Hill, we work with trusted partners and charities to offer free, welcoming, and inclusive activities for people of all ages.

Everyone's welcome!

  • Our Hubs are more than just places – they’re welcoming spaces where you’ll find friendly faces, someone to chat with, and free activities to improve your wellbeing, such as:

    • Engaging activities for young people and adults
    • Free meals and holiday programmes for families
    • Activities focused on health and wellbeing
    • Support for accessing foodbanks and managing finances
    • Food larders in Gravesend, Sittingbourne and Stanhope
    • Education and job training opportunities
    • Help getting online and staying connected

Each of our knowledgeable and friendly partners bring different skills and resources - and we encourage them to work with Moat Foundation to increase the support you and your community receive through social value projects.
