Folkestone StoryMap – The funds will go towards the cost of storytelling workshops in Folkestone’s 24 schools. 

Folkestone StoryMap is seven short story podcasts celebrating the town’s people, coastline, history and literary connections accessed via QR codes in the Coastal Park, aiming to inspire future storytellers and encourage children and the community to rediscover the joy of listening to and reading stories. 

The town’s museum is providing a free room to hold workshops for schools and for the rest of the community and is keen for writers to use its collections as inspiration for stories. 

We will open submission for stories from May to end of June with seven stories chosen blind by a panel of judges.  Submissions need to come from people living locally, or anyone with a strong connection to the town. 

To provide funding of £200 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

Folkestone has two wards in the top ten of the most deprived areas in Kent and low literacy rates.  It is also recognised that children stop engaging with books at aged 11.  Reading and listening to stories increases concentration, confidence, vocabulary, communication skills and empathy, leading to increased life chances. 

Excellent responses from schools so far.  St Mary’s literacy lead said ‘the StoryMap project sounds fantastic, we currently have a big push on reading and so this would fit in perfectly with our plan for the year.’ 

A teacher at the Beacon School said ‘as a teacher in an area with the most deprived sector of our community.  I believe the Folkestone StoryMap will provide children with experiences that take them outside of their normality and enable them to realise that they too can achieve in life and that their voices are important and deserve to be heard.’

Reason for decision:

Folkestone has two wards in the top ten of the most deprived areas in Kent and low literacy rates. It is also recognised that children stop engaging with books aged 11.

Yet reading and listening to stories increases concentration, confidence, vocabulary, communication skills and empathy, leading to increased life chances.

2020 Cheriton Light Festival – The grant will contribute towards artist time to deliver sculptural lantern making workshops at All Souls, Morehall, St Martins, Harcourt and Cheriton Primary Schools in Cheriton. 

To provide funding of £100 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

This will be the fifth Cheriton Ligh Festival and the event has grown in popularity since it first took place in 2013.  Cheriton High Street will be closed to traffic to enable people to roam freely and will use art to transform spaces to encourage people to view and be involved with the artworks.  The event will be opened with a community lantern parade and close with fireworks, as both of these activities have been requested by local people. 

The Cheriton Light Festival (CLF) shows that art can be a catalyst for bringing the community together.  This aspect of the event has proved to be of supreme importance to people over the four years.  CLF makes it possible for people to come together at a very cold and dark time of year and celebrate as a community in the same space.  The event has become a much anticipated part of the town’s cultural calendar and there has been lots of enquiries already regarding people looking forward to being involved.

Purchase of CCTV system.  The building has an old system installed in 2000, possibly earlier.  The equipment and cameras are no longer fit for purpose, providing poor quality data.  Any intruders cannot be identified from the images.

To provide funding of £250 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

The Old School has experienced several incidents in the last few years including theft of lead from the porch roof, broken windows and vandalism in the garden.  Our building houses many artefacts and records of local and wider importance and has become a heritage centre for New Romney. 

As well as being a heritage centre the Old School is an important part of the local community hosting an active schedule of events, classes, clubs and a dementia café. 

The Trustees and community need to feel confident the Old School is protected and a quality CCTV system would assist greatly.

Reprint of the Romney Marsh leaflet – Promoting the Romney Marsh will attract more visitors to the Marsh that will benefit all the town and village communities’ economic growth. 

To provide funding of £400 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

There are eleven Parishes on the Romney Marsh and, apart from the website, theromneymarsh.net, there is no one combined source of information about the social, cultural and leisure opportunities on the Marsh for residents, businesses and visitors.  A combined source of information in one leaflet is the opportunity to promote the area as a whole.

In order to continue to provide this service and resource for our community we need to buy new boats and buoyancy aids.

Folkestone and Hythe Safe Haven – Capital funding is needed to upgrade and install accessible toilets and baby changing facilities at the new Safe Haven project in Folkestone which is being delivered in the Folkestone Rainbow Centre premises, evenings and weekends. 

A partnership consisting of the NHS and private funders will be launching the Folkestone & Hythe Safe Haven, early in 2020. It will offer a safe, welcoming, non-clinical café space to people in mental health crisis or distress. The Folkestone Safe Haven will be open 365 days a year in the evenings, at weekends and on public holidays when other services are closed. It will be open to all residents of Folkestone & Hythe district. This is an initiative that works well in other parts of the country, saving lives, helping recovery and reducing police and health service costs. The Folkestone Safe Haven will be the first such service in Kent. Like others, it will help clients for as long as they need it. Even after they feel they have recovered, they can return at any time, and perhaps start to help others.

To support our after-school singing with 4 schools, culminating in a vibrant free concert to families/friends/teachers in JAM on the Marsh at St Nicholas Church, New Romney. 

To provide funding of £500 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

Significant challenges prevent children in Shepway from taking part in music:

·         Severe education budget cuts, affecting teaching and opportunity

·         Lack of specialist teaching

·         Lack of cultural infrastructure

·         Lack of opportunities and income to experience performance, professionals and quality means Shepway remains one of the most arts-deprived areas of England with limited cultural infrastructure and provision.

Young people on Romney Marsh have little access to the arts and meagre opportunities to participate in, create or experience musical activity. This brings with it associated negative impacts on social, academic and personal progression. Furthermore, poor transport links, prevents children’s access to and benefit from activities/opportunities.

Since 2012 JAM on the Marsh has been working with schools across Hythe and Romney Marsh to bring ambitious and aspirational opportunities to young people.

Lydd Christmas Dinner - Lydd Meeting Point will be having their Christmas Dinner at Hardy Hall in Lydd. This will enable all those who attend to enjoy a Christmas Dinner with others. Some of our attendees will be spending Christmas alone this year so this meal is very important to alleviate loneliness and isolation levels amongst our older and elderly members.

CARM has been running since 1987, when we originally only provided Meeting Points, in order to provide friendship to older and elderly people who were lonely or isolated on Romney Marsh. Since then, we have expanded our services, but our Meeting Points continue to be an essential part of our work, as levels of loneliness are worsened with a lack of public transport, and as more families have to move away from the Marsh to find work, meaning family ties are broken.

Loneliness is recognised as a national and growing problem which we are working to alleviate. In Lydd, the problem of loneliness is exacerbated by higher levels of depravation, as evidenced by national statistics and food bank use locally, meaning that community meals provided at little to no cost are really important.
