Provides a community centre that is open every day or recreation, education, sports, social and spiritual activities for use by groups and the local population. This is a valuable, local resource providing much needed space at affordable prices to local groups, many of whom are small and provide services to local residents.
We have created a vibrant, diverse, accessible and financially sustainable community hub at the heart of Rainham, supported by the people of Kent and Medway and at the same time are protecting and enhancing our heritage in the Oast House. We provide facilities that present opportunities for the local community to meet, provide services to their members and sustain a strong community centre at the heart of Rainham. We believe that we have maintained our presence in the community by underpinning values of good governance, accountability, respect, equality and dynamism.
The Trustees and Executive keep in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at all meetings where the OAST Community Hub’s activities are planned or reviewed. The focus of this being The Oast and the opportunities it provides for social welfare, education, recreation and leisure activities within the community
