People who visit get good quality foods at about 40% of the normal supermarket cost, customers leave with a sense of dignity as well as a full shopping bag. Our Kitchen also helps with this with Meal Kits and Recipe Cards via its shops in Margate and Ramsgate.

Mark Stewart

“I will be transmitting sci-fi lullabies from the haunted dancehall - “la Luta continua” -THIS is my creed.”

Mark Stewart is an artist, vocalist, producer and songwriter from Bristol, England. As a founding member of The Pop Group and as a soloist, Stewart has remained an anarchic and pioneering figure since the punk era, a constant source of discordance amongst the frontiers of post-punk, dub, industrial and electronic music. This is a selection of exclusive recordings taken from the current project with Patrick Dokter.
