We are absolutely delighted to announce that our project is now fully back up and running, with three Market Development Officers (Katy, Tito, and Nicole) available to work with new and existing enterprises, health and social care professionals, and external stakeholders.

This project was previously run externally by Community Catalysts; currently we are still using their resources and Small Good Stuff directory, but we are working on transferring these tools across to Kent County Council over the next few months. A new in-house directory and internal development framework will be built; we expect these to be available by spring 2026.

• Looking for care and support in your area?  Search the Small Good Stuff Kent directory.
• Do you have an idea for a start-up enterprise, or would like your existing business adding to the directory? Contact kentmicros@kent.gov.uk.

Community micro-enterprises are small, local businesses that offer care and support in people’s homes and in the community, including community support groups. They help older people, people with learning disabilities, people with physical disabilities, and those facing challenges with their mental health and wellbeing.
