About Us

We are Red Zebra, a charity providing a wide variety of services across Kent. We believe in creating stronger communities by supporting people and organisations living and working in the community. We are passionate about improving services, increasing access to services and promoting parity of opportunity for everyone.

We work in partnership with others to improve their effectiveness and impact. As a local charity, we can offer creative and innovative solutions and take a flexible approach in all we do. For example, we are acting as the lead organisation to enable the Community Chefs to deliver their First Service programme in Thanet and Herne Bay, funded by the DWP Flexible Support Fund. 

The Red Zebra is a folklore tale. It is said that the Red Zebra will appear in times of need if you are lost, and need direction to reach your goal. The Red Zebra will lead you to the truce of water hole where everyone works collaboratively for the collective benefit of all. While we haven’t yet had cause to literally lead people to a water hole, community, collaboration and giving people a helping hand to improve life when they are feeling lost is what we’re all about.
