We’re relaunching our campaign! Thank you to everyone who contributed to our recent first campaign and we’re very encouraged by the amount of support we’ve received. In hindsight, we now realise that some people only just heard about our campaign and didn’t have an opportunity to contribute. Due to the popularity and amount of views we had at the last minute, we realise there are more people out there willing to support us who we hadn’t yet reached.
Help Fortify Café, our beautiful independent 100% plant based business to survive and thrive.
I’m James, the founder of Fortify Café – the only eatery in Maidstone’s local area with 100% plant based food cooked from scratch.

Vegans and non vegans love our quirky warm vibe and the chance to eat healthy, delicious food with a large selection of meals to choose from no matter what their food sensitivities.
We need your help now in order to survive. After much personal investment, to realise my dream of providing a healthy, fun café and community hub, we need an injection of funds. Our café is hugely popular but our limited space means we can’t generate the money needed to fill the hole in our foundational finances and develop the space and resources for growth.
We’ve already overcome many obstacles since 2009
Raising these essential funds would mean we can continue to provide employment, help keep the High Street vibrant and carry on cooking great plant based meals which we love doing.
Fortify Café has the potential to become so much more and I have big dreams of what else we could achieve! Given some space to breathe, we’d love to start offering cookery lessons, hosting pop up events, documentary screenings and even write that cookery book that people keep asking us for!
Short term goals:
Long term goals:
1st phase of funding
2nd phase of funding
3rd phase of funding
If you donate £50 or more, we have a limited number of exclusive Fortify Café mugs or t-shirts to give away when you opt in to receive a perk.
This is a flexible funding campaign. If we reach 50% of our goal, we can secure the lease and continue as we are for the time being (1st phase of funding only). If the whole funding target is reached, the short term goals will be achieved (1st, 2nd & 3rd phase of funding).
Remember, sharing is caring – please let others know about our campaign and get in touch if you have any questions.
