Welcome to Sheppey Matters

Founded in 1994, Sheppey Matters is a leading health and wellbeing charity serving the Isle of Sheppey. From our base at the Healthy Living Centre in Sheerness, we deliver more than 12 community-led health and wellbeing programmes. Our services also operate from outreach hubs in Eastchurch and a range of other local venues, ensuring support is accessible to residents across the island.

The Healthy Living Centre is undergoing regeneration as part of the Sheerness Revival Project.

Exciting things are happening for Sheerness and the Revival Project, Sheppey Matters offices and room spaces at The Healthy Living Centre are also getting a revamp. We are all very excited to move back into our new look building, however, in the meantime we have some fantastic new venues to continue to run all of our services as usual.
