Although the JustGiving account will be closed, if you wish to donate please do contact us via the www.fofc.uk website or on the Friends of old Folkestone cemetery Facebook page. I hope you have a Happy, and Healthy New Year and Thank You for your support.

With funding raised here on JustGiving and with funding received from one of our sponsers Pavers, we should have enough to provide an interpretation panel telling about the 'born sleeping' babies and the White Garden. I am therefore closing this JustGiving account and transferring the monies raised in the Friends of Old Folkestone cemetery bank account so it is available to pay for the interpretation panel. Thanks to everyone for your kind comments, support, and of course for any donation that you were able to provide.

Our volunteers have been busy through December despite the awful weather. Our Council contact Carl has provided us with lots of shrubs and our volunteers have planted them all. We have had to put up rabbit guards around all the shrubs and chicken wire over some of the softer shrubs for protection. But so far - right at the end of December, the shrubs are surviving. Come spring they will start to grow and will look wonderful. Carl has also provided us with a bench - and in spring will tidy up the pathway (if resources are available).
