Help to Heat our Hub!

We are already facing a harsh winter, and this is only the beginning. With electricity bills becoming nearly unmanageable across our community, we are working hard to ensure every pound goes toward impact while continuing to support our staff.

Closes 20/03/2026

Keep Talking Services is a telephone befriending service aimed at reducing loneliness in our local community with a passion for reducing stigma within the area of mental health. Our aim is simple, to offer light to individuals often surrounded by darkness. How do we do this? We KEEP TALKING!

Story

We are a small but mighty charity, powered by a dedicated team working behind the scenes to support people across Kent and Medway. Nearly a year ago, we secured our current building, which has become the hub from which we deliver our telephone befriending service to hundreds of people who rely on regular, friendly contact.

As winter approaches, we are facing a growing challenge. Our building is very old and extremely difficult to heat. Cold drafts and outdated radiators make it hard to keep the workspace warm, especially during the colder months. A warm, functional environment is essential for our team, allowing them to stay focused and available for the people who depend on our calls.

The funding raised through this campaign will help us make vital improvements. With your support, we can install new radiators, fit blinds, and add secondary glazing to reduce drafts and retain heat. These changes will not only lower energy costs but will also ensure our staff and volunteers can continue delivering consistent, high-quality support throughout the winter.

Every donation helps us keep our service running when it is needed most. By supporting this appeal, you are helping us stay connected to people across Kent and Medway, offering warmth, companionship, and reassurance when it matters most. Thank you for making that possible.
