    Iʼve raised £0 to help in buying new tools and equipment for work in the White Garden and the old Folkestone cemetery to continue.

    Story

    A White Garden has been created, reclaimed from a rough and overgrown piece of land in an area where 'born sleeping' babies were buried. This garden is to commemorate the 'born sleeping' babies buried in this old cemetery, without service or marker. The White Garden is still in its early stages and given the extreme weather conditions we are currently experiencing may take a few years before it becomes fully established.

    Meanwhile, we continue to clear brambles and overgrown areas across the old cemetery, as well as completing research for distant families and helping them to find their relatives resting place.

    This cemetery also contains 45 Commonwealth War Graves and 3 recipients of the Victoria Cross

        What is crowdfunding?

        Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

        The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

        Great people make things happen

        Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

        Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!

        Some years ago, after talking to a council community worker, we decided to create a volunteer group of 'friends' to help keep the old cemetery tidy and free from brambles. This small group meets every Saturday morning, weather permitting, new volunteers are always welcome.
