To promote equality, diversity, and the advancement of education for the public benefit, with a particular focus on eliminating discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in Folkestone and the surrounding areas.

Our aim is to celebrate the diversity of the local queer community and to make where we live an exciting and welcoming place for queer people, both residents and visitors. We seek to promote tolerance, inclusion and community, whilst also acknowledging and celebrating diversity.
We are an inclusive community, a support network, and a place for resources on all aspects of the LGBTQIA+ community in Folkestone and Hythe district.
