Welcome to Porchlight.
We are one of the foremost charities supporting vulnerable and homeless people in Kent, Medway and Croydon. We have supported accommodation services in Ashford, Canterbury, Dover, Ramsgate and Tonbridge, a homelessness prevention service and a dedicated rough sleeper team. We provide a range of services supporting people with complex needs, with specialist services for young people, ex-offenders and people with enduring mental health issues. Our focus is on long-term solutions, breaking the cycle of homelessness and ensuring that people can live independently in the future.
