Community Safety Partnership is promoting a Safe Space Scheme to help anyone feeling anxious, overwhelmed or worried about their safety.
Retailers in Bouverie Square, Folkestone, have joined the scheme to support their customers.
Anyone who feels unsafe or worried can approach employees in organisations and businesses taking part in the scheme. Staff will assist any person who may require help and possibly a place of safety.
Retailers and organisations taking part will display a sticker in their window, and a full list of participants can be found below:
- Folkestone & Hythe District Council Civic Centre

- Rainbow Centre
- ASDA
- Bouverie Place Management Suite
