Despite the huge challenges posed by the Covid-19 crisis, our project to repair and transform Dockyard Church is still very much on track. All of the funding received or pledged so far is secure and the National Lottery Heritage Fund has made public its commitment to do everything it can to help all its projects through this uncertain time. 

We are currently out to tender for the building works and, before the crisis, the project was due to start on site in the June. We are closely monitoring the situation within the construction industry and will delay the start of works if required. Please visit our website for updates.

What is clear is that when the crisis is over, our new centre - which has a youth enterprise business incubator at its heart - will be needed more than ever.

We would like to thank the Sheppey community for its support. Our thoughts go out to everyone who has been affected by the Covid-19 crisis.
