Hello!
We are Little Ewell, the oldest house of L’Arche Kent and the first and oldest L'Arche house in the UK.
We are located between Dover and Canterbury in the beautiful Kent countryside with a big garden, where five chickens and a rabbit live. The Wellspring also grows fruit, vegetables and plants for the rest of the community and for sale locally.
The community office is also based here so we regularly welcome visitors. In our kitchen you will always find someone ready for a “chinchin” as Dean, one of our core members, likes to say.
