Who We Are

Centa Co was established in 2009 and we are a contracted provider of day services for Medway Council, Kent County Council and the NHS. We also support privately funded clients.

We support adults with a moderate learning disability, autism or a moderate brain injury. 

We have tried to innovate day centre support, raising the bar in terms of what is generally expected of a day centre. One of our our passions is to try to unlock potential in clients. Another key focus is to support our clients to socialise and network together in a safe, engaging environment. Our 2000 sq ft unit is purposely open plan as this promotes interaction. Unlike the majority of other day centres, Centa Co closes at 4:30 p.m. which we believe gives clients a good full day experience. We provide transport for those who need it at a cost of £2.50 per day.

Centa Co day centre, Chatham, has places available every day of the week, Monday to Friday. 

For Medway Council funded clients, the current cost per day is £56.10 + VAT not including minibus transport and £58.04 + VAT per day including minibus transport. Clients who attend on an hourly drop in rate pay £9.56 + VAT. We give a 20% discount on these prices for privately funded clients to make it more affordable for them.

Why do we offer a drop in option for clients? Because autistic individuals particularly but others too can have variable energy and motivation levels day to day.

Prospective clients are able to have three assessment sessions for no charge to try the day centre out. Clients may attend accompanied by their own one-to-one support worker, if they wish, for the assessment sessions and beyond, if they join. 

We are increasingly supporting adults who require rehabilitation therapy following a brain injury, which they can receive in the rich social environment of a day centre amongst others doing similar activities!
