GROWING GRAVESHAM
We would like to inform all participants and stakeholders that the Grow in Gravesham programme will be taking a temporary pause from April through September 2026. This pause allows us to refresh and enhance the current programme to better serve our community. During this period, the programme will not be running regular business advice sessions, grant applications or workshops.
However, we are actively preparing for a strong return in the autumn with exciting new opportunities, including expanded mentoring, business advice, and targeted grant funding.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support. The Grow in Gravesham programme will be back in full swing from autumn 2026, ready to support even more local entrepreneurs and founders.

I've been supported by The Kent Foundation for a long time and they've always been able to help me when I've been stuck in business. Having access to a mentor is a must!

The Kent Foundation helped me get access to a grant that gave me my first boost to start and grow my business. One year later, they're still supporting me.

ABOUT US
Through talking to businesses and fledgling entrepreneurs, Gravesham Council’s economic development team joined forces with The Kent Foundation, to design a new service that allows us to meet the needs of local people looking for support for entrepreneurs, social enterprises and micro businesses. Grow in Gravesham is a flexible service which supports residents, tenants, high street and home-based businesses through to those in business units and freelancers or those in co-working spaces.
For over a decade, the Gravesham Business Network has brought together new and established businesses to encourage collaboration and a welcoming environment for enterprise. The Gravesham Business Network hope you find the mentoring and other assistance helpful and look forward to meeting you at one of their local networking events. Please add your details here
