Ashford & Tenterden Umbrella

We are a long-standing (33 years) local charity, based in Ashford, providing connection, companionship and confidence for anyone in our part of Kent who is socially isolated, lonely, or would welcome support with their mental health and wellbeing. We arrange 3 free drop-in sessions per week at Ashford Parish Rooms, where our service users participate in a wide range of activities including crafts, singing and an art class. We also offer food and beverages from our pop-up healthy eating café and dedicated door-to-door transport where required. We aim to provide a safe space for people to meet others, make friends and feel better about themselves and about life.
