A LITTLE BACKGROUND
KASBAH was founded by a group of parents of children with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus in 1966 with a desire to help other families in circumstances similar to their own. All of the support services are now open to any person with a physical and/or learning disabilities, including support for the parents, carers and families.

The Meeting Place Café is now open for business!
The café is located in Gravesend High Street, in the attractive Heritage Quarter. Whether you want a cake to treat yourself, or a relaxing cup of coffee or pot of tea, the Meeting Place has it all. It's relaxing atmosphere suits all needs and is wheelchair accessible.
We would like to say thank you to Muriel Parsons, the previous owner, and Gillian Smith at Places for People, for their support in the cafe handover, and a huge well done and thank you to all the KASBAH staff who have been involved in decorating and setting up the café ready for opening.
