The funding will cover the initial set up and two years running of a Nepalese community centre in a deprived ward in Folkstone on the Kent Coast where there is a significant Nepalese and Gurkha community. The Nepalese community will be the primary users of the community centre but it will be open to the whole community. The partnership is also supported by Folkestone & Hythe District Council. The centre will also welcome members of the wider community and thereby facilitate deeper understanding of Nepalese history and culture and foster integration.
