History
In 2004 Children’s Fund money was put into a group of Folkestone schools for young people who had been awaiting counselling
A counsellor was set up in Church Street, next to St. Eanswythe’s School
The school were impressed by the counsellor and the range of therapies offered
The funding ran out – even though many children hadn’t completed their counselling
The school paid for children to complete their counselling which gave them time to secure funding
Kent Community Foundation helped us out – and The Church Street Project was born
In 2006 we became a registered charity
When our original premises was sold the Creative Foundation helped us find suitable rooms- firstly in Tontine Street and then The Old High Street
We have always aimed to be as grassroots as possible and to be approachable, visible and part of the community
We host the Sunny Sands Sandcastle Competition- sand and sand trays being one of our tools!
We are a Folkestone and Hythe District charity although in reality most of our clients are from the Folkestone area
We hope to continue to be available and offer a range of creative therapies to give clients choices
