About Us

Making A Difference to Maidstone (MADM) is a Christian Charity with an Outreach Centre and foodbank that is supported donations and sales made by a large charity shop and warehouse on Maidstone High Street, at the old Argos site.

MADM was founded by Amanda Sidwell in 2015 to support the homeless, those in addiction, socially isolated, disadvantaged and in crisis in the Maidstone area. Our loving, dedicated and compassionate team of staff and volunteers strive to help, support, and reach out to the community of Maidstone with a diverse range of services that respond to the realities of life in the Maidstone community in which we serve.

As a Christian Charity, our mission and vision are based on our faith in Jesus Christ and we put our faith into action by offering support, through referrals from agencies like social services, NHS, the council, housing associations, probation and others. homeless, those in addiction, socially isolated, the vulnerable, in crisis, ex-offenders, domestic abuse, asylum seekers, fighting against injustice, advocacy, and so much more.

Our heart cries out for those who are suffering and in need. We bless (give/donate) everything for life and home, from food parcels/toiletries (bespoke through our foodbank) to kitchen and household items, linen, furniture, small electricals and so much more. As we are Bespoke, there are different areas in which we can meet the needs of the community and encourage people to ask no matter how obscure. 

​

Our Aim is to Make a Difference in Maidstone, in any way that we can!
