what we do
At Thrift and Thrive ,we are more than a homeless charity. We take a holistic approach to supporting our community, offering a wide range of services, groups, and initiatives that help people across Medway improve their wellbeing and quality of life.
Clothing Aid
Free School Uniform Banks
All of our shops also host a Free School Uniform Bank, helping local families with the rising cost of living. Parents and carers can swap outgrown uniforms and pick up replacements, making school essentials more affordable and accessible for everyone.
Community Care
Our team partners with health professionals to provide essential health services for the community.

Shed Angel groups are behind the Resource Centre, a hands-on community project where people can share skills, learn new ones, and take part in meaningful activities.
Our groups are inclusive, friendly, and designed to reduce loneliness and social isolation while improving health and wellbeing.
We focus on the four R’s:
-
Recycling

Projects include furniture upcycling, bicycle repairs, and thrift initiatives (clothing and small household items).
