Home – Catching Lives

All Saints, Biddenden’s charity of the year is Porchlight. We are Kent’s largest charity for homeless and vulnerable people. We’re here for people who have nowhere to go and no-one to turn to. Some are living on the streets, others need support because they are at risk of losing their home.
