Celebrating Our Partnership with Kenward Trust
This week, we’re proud to celebrate our partnership with Kenward Trust and the incredible impact they have in the Kent community. Based on a peaceful 15-acre site in Yalding, their residential rehabilitation centre has been a beacon of hope for over 50 years, providing a safe space and support for people affected by addiction.
Kenward Trust takes a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, combining the 12-Step model with a variety of therapies, including art, gardening, pottery, and trauma-focused support. Their on-site clinical team ensures residents have access to expert care every step of the way.
The real difference, however, is in the lives transformed. Families speak of broken relationships and fear — and then, through recovery, of reconnection, healing, and hope. Simple joys, like spending time together and rebuilding trust, become possible again.
Kenward Trust doesn’t just support recovery — they help people rebuild their lives with dignity, restoring relationships and rediscovering purpose.
