EC30
THE HEART OF TENTERDEN

Community Coffee Shop

Nestled in the heart of Tenterden, EC30 redefines community-centric care as a dynamic Health and Wellbeing Centre where social connection, holistic support, and everyday joy intersect. 

A pioneering collaboration between Tenterden Social Hub, Ashford Rural PCN, and NHS Property Services, EC30 has emerged as the UK’s leading social prescribing hub. It blends accessible healthcare services with a welcoming café, sustainable charity shop, and inclusive spaces designed to foster belonging.

More THAN COFFEE...

POP INSIDE

Latest News

CONNECTION IS CORE

At its core, EC30 thrives on human connection. The centre’s sunny, plant-filled café—stocked with locally roasted coffee, and gluten-free treats—serves as a social lifeline, inviting visitors to linger over crossword puzzles, chat with friends on the garden terrace, or simply soak in the calm of its non-clinical environment. 

Adjacent to the café, the charity shop buzzes with purpose, offering curated pre-loved treasures while funding EC30’s community initiatives and reducing textile waste.

Whether linking patreons to Parkinson’s UK coffee mornings, Age UK dementia services, or creative workshops like Knit and Natter, the centre ensures no one navigates challenges alone.

Accessible gardens, volunteer opportunities, and hireable meeting rooms further cement EC30 as a space where everyone—regardless of circumstance—can thrive.

SUPPORT

VOLUNTEER

The volunteers are the beating heart of EC30 and without them, this project would not exist. The opportunity to volunteer is one of the recommended pillars of The Five Ways to Wellbeing, and many of the people who volunteer at EC30 can testify to this.

Volunteer sessions can be completely flexible, they can be longer or shorter sessions and tailored to age/ability/time constraints.
