The Community Hub in the Brassey Centre is open for EVERYONE, every week, come rain or shine. If you just fancy a (proper) coffee, come in. If you are new to the area and would like to meet people, come in. If you are lonely and want some company, come in. If you have nothing to do, come and be company for others who come.

We are registered with 'Places of Welcome', a national umbrella organisation, which you can read more about here.

The Community Hub cafe area is a space for people to connect and get to know each other, and we will be developing what's available in that space, on Wednesday mornings and at other times of the week. We have regular visits from representatives offering practical and mental health support. We have had a mobility demonstration from Sue at Age UK and a visit from Ruth from CAP (Christians Against Poverty) who have helped thousands of people find their way out of debt. The Community Wardens and Involve Kent are regular visitors.

We also use the space for support groups, study programmes, worship, meetings and prayer. As the particular needs of this community reveal themselves, we will continue to invite the appropriate people to support and help.

There is no charge for the food and drink (although you may donate if you would like to).

We can't stress enough that this is for YOU! You don't have to be lonely or in need. Just come and be part of building a welcoming, inclusive, flourishing, mutually-supportive space ... and help us show God's love to anyone in need.


We have recently refurbished The Ballard Room, with the installation of a new self-contained kitchen...





Citizens Advice at the Community Hub
At Citizen’s Advice North and West Kent, we’re looking to reach out to local communities, making sure everyone is kept warm and well this winter. As part of this initiative, we provide energy advice sessions, which can cover energy and water advice, income-maximisation checks and scam awareness tips. We can do one-to-one sessions, or alternatively call-backs. We can also provide energy ‘bundles’ to everyone that has an energy advice session with us, such as leaflets, pens, trolley keys, temperature gauges and a free Carbon Monoxide detector. These sessions are run by our trained energy advisers, and the advice we give is confidential, impartial and independent.
We are looking forward to speaking with the community at St Peter and Paul's Church on Wednesday 26th November 2025 and Wednesday 10th December 2025 between 9am and 1pm.  Please feel free to drop in if you have any questions or concerns.
