Showing up for Maidstone

Bivesh and Lenny cut the ribbon

MADM is a Christian charity that supports individuals and families who find themselves in crisis through homelessness, domestic abuse, addiction, financial need, unemployment, relationship breakdown, and more.

MADM helps them with immediate needs but also helps them explore their full potential so that they can reintegrate into society and lead productive and positive lives, and enhance the communities in which they live!

The work of the Outreach Centre and King’s Pantry food bank is funded by charity shop sales, as well from charitable donations and grants.

This was a great opportunity for Stones players to get involved in the community, signing shirts and autographs after the ribbon opening the store was cut.

MADAM do a great job in the community and we wish them every success with the work they do.
