The specially adapted centre, in Maidstone Road, will support up to 25 clients each day, teaching skills such as using the internet, desk top publishing and digital design. Many previous clients have used these skills to move on to paid or voluntary work.

The charity had previously operated out of Tunbridge Wells Football Club for the last five years after leaving its original site at the old Pembury Hospital.

“We’re delighted to have secured these new premises in Paddock Wood,” comments Chief Executive, Stephen Elsden. “We expect to support more disabled people from the local area, and are closer to the road network into Maidstone and West Malling.”

The move and the refurbishment has been supported by a number of charitable trusts, as well as local building experts who gave their time free of charge.

Stephen adds: “I’d like to thank Tunbridge Wells Football Club for their hospitality over the last few years, and expect both our organisations to go from strength to strength in the future.”
