At Sheppey Matters, we exist for one reason – our people.
Everything we do is rooted in the belief that everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, deserves the opportunity to live a healthier, more connected, and fulfilling life.
We are a community health and wellbeing charity that delivers a broad range of innovative, responsive projects tackling inequalities head-on — from mental health and physical activity to social isolation and digital inclusion.
But we are far more than our services. We are a trusted presence across Sheppey, walking alongside individuals, families, and communities, empowering them to thrive in their own way.
Our strength lies in understanding the local landscape and the lived realities of those we serve — and in responding not with assumptions, but with empathy, care, and long-term commitment.
