Wellbeing Services at Our Foodbank
At Gillingham Street Angels, we know that wellbeing is about more than food alone. That’s why our foodbanks also provide access to health and wellbeing services in Medway, giving people the chance to build confidence, improve health, and make positive lifestyle choices in a safe and supportive space.
Our foodbanks are more than just a place to collect essentials; they are safe, welcoming spaces where people can find encouragement, build confidence, and improve their overall wellbeing. We believe that supporting mental, physical, and emotional health is just as important as providing food and clothing.
Wellbeing Drop-Ins
Working in partnership with the NHS and other local health and welfare providers, we run a programme of wellbeing drop-ins. These sessions give people easy access to important health services and empower them to make healthier lifestyle choices.
Support includes:
-
Sexual health advice and testing
-
Hepatitis C testing
-
Blood pressure (hypotension) checks
-
Diabetes awareness and support.
Our Holistic Approach
We use our Wellbeing Wheel to guide the support we provide, recognising that true health covers every part of life — physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual. By offering a holistic range of services, we ensure people can access the type of care that best supports their individual needs.
