About Go Folkestone
Our Ethos: Guided by Purpose, Grounded in Action
Everything we do at Go Folkestone is driven by four powerful principles that shape our impact and keep us rooted in our mission.
For over two decades, we’ve been turning local pride into action. From heritage boards and murals to litter-picks, green projects, and cultural initiatives, every effort has one goal: to make Folkestone a better place to live, work, and visit.
Environment
From tree planting to recycling projects, we protect and improve Folkestone’s green spaces so they stay clean, healthy, and welcoming for everyone.
Heritage
We celebrate and preserve the stories that shaped Folkestone – through heritage boards, local history projects, and creative ways of keeping the past alive.
Creativity
Art, murals, and cultural projects bring energy and colour to our town, reflecting the imagination and talent that make Folkestone, and its creative people, unique.
Community
At the heart of it all is people. Members, volunteers, and partners working side by side to keep Folkestone flourishing – today and for the future.
What Makes Us Different?

Cleaner parks, improved spaces, and new community initiatives.

Why This Matters?
Because small acts create big change. A mural that brightens a corner. A tree that shades a park. A calendar that funds a year of community projects. Together, these things add up to something bigger: a town where people feel proud to belong and excited to return.
Go Folkestone isn’t just about preserving the past. It’s about building a future – stronger, greener, and more connected – for everyone who loves this town.
