Community is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we take our work beyond our venues and directly into local neighbourhoods, meeting people where they are to build stronger, more active communities across the district.
We also open our doors to diverse communities, creating inclusive spaces where people can connect, feel a sense of belonging, and take part in positive, shared experiences.
We hosted an event led by People United, opening our climbing gym to the KRAN community free of charge.
We welcomed over 100 people through our doors and were proud to showcase a poem written by a KRAN member, brought to life through design by Hannah Grace Whittaker.
We hosted a free evening running event aimed at encouraging more women to get out and keep running during the darker months.
Working alongside Folkestone Running and Athletics Club, the session was friendly & supportive, with plenty of practical safety tips shared to help build confidence when running after dark. It was a great opportunity to bring people together, get moving, and support each other to stay active all year round.
Every Friday throughout the summer holidays, we run free coached drop-in sessions at Folkestone Harbour, giving local children the chance to try skateboarding in a fun, welcoming environment.
