Nourish Food Bank

The Nourish mission is that ‘no-one need go hungry in Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding areas.

The Nourish charity can help provide more positive outcomes by offering a period of respite and an opportunity for change.

Trinity Theatre

Trinity is more than a theatre. They want to improve the health and wellbeing of Tunbridge Wells through their community outreach programme.

Initiatives include, ‘Trinity Encore,’ a choir for those living with dementia; ‘Senior Cinema Social’, aimed at breaking the cycle of elderly loneliness in Tunbridge Wells; and communication development activities delivered into schools by our Youth & Learning team.
