Reason for decision:
The vision for Custom Folkestone is threefold:
- To establish it as a transformative force within the community, creating tangible benefit and opportunities for employability and cultural experience for local people.
- To gain a reputation for producing beautiful, imaginative and memorable food, sourced locally, that encourages deeper consideration of the landscape in which we operate.
- To be the UK’s first dedicated food-focussed art space, with a programme of critical and reflective work that generates change within our own organisation and inspires change in the wider food and art industries.
A number of social and cultural needs that Custom will also address:
1. Access to work experience and employment
2. Access to uplifting cultural experiences
3. Community working together to create change.
