Honour a remarkable history
For over 400 years, Chatham Dockyard built the ships that shaped Britain’s history. Your dedication will become a permanent part of the Grade II listed former Police Section House, now being refurbished as Docking Station, a digital creative hub that will continue to serve Medway for generations to come.
Help shape Medway's future
Docking Station will give students, local young people and creative professionals access to world class resources, including virtual production and motion capture studios, specialist teaching labs, flexible exhibition spaces, and co-working and office space.
Your gift will help Docking Station create opportunity across Kent, Medway and the South East, while supporting the creative industries, one of the UK’s fastest-growing sectors.

The University experiences and teachings changed my life; they enriched & broadened my mind. I was, and am, proud to be part of that institution. The Historic Dockyard is a wonderful place to study.

Chatham Dockyard shaped our family’s past. Naming bricks for my father and brother felt a fitting way to honour their bond and play a small part in the Dockyard’s exciting future.
