We provide a weekly Warm Welcome on Fridays at Sunflower House, a weekly drop in called Loose Ends at The Community Room and the friendly Community Café and Larderis open at Cheriton Network on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays
We are always interested in projects which offer community benefit and whose values are similar to our own and our diary for our venues is always changing.
For more information about activities, we will do our best to help if you email us with our simple contact messaging – but it’s often best to talk with the project leadsx direct.
How to find Sunflower House and The Community Room
Sunflower House – our main building – is located five minutes from the centre of Folkestone going towards the Park Farm industrial estate – you’ll find Sunflower House (SFH) on the left hand side next to the amazing 19th Century railway viaduct!
Our postal address is: 45 Foord Road, Folkestone CT19 5AE
We also run programmes from The Community Room (TCR) at 19 The Bayle CT20 1SQ and at Cheriton Community Network (CCN) 378 Cheriton Road CT19 4DX.
In August 2026, we began work on our fourth venue, The Hub, which is our new collaborative admin centre for non-profits and community groups, upstairs from CCN at 378a Cheriton Road.
We work with partners sharing the running costs and helping us to run a varied programme of community activities. For latest details, follow our social media!
Please keep in touch with us by signing up for our quarterly newsletter – just send us a note on our Get involved page!
We welcome ideas, support, help and – yes – donations of any size.
Right below there is a donation button to support our hard working team – so why not help us out while you’re in the mood!
