Rebirth of The Folk: Resilient and Sustainable

By 2030 The Folk of Gloucester is an identifiable organisation that is eco-friendly, resilient, community led, vibrant, and self-sustaining. The fine timber frame buildings house dozens of stories from the last 500 years told through tours, performances, displays and exhibitions. A lively co-designed and co-delivered programme of inclusive and diverse cultural events and activities engages a wide range of audiences who seek out its quirky and creaky warm and inviting spaces. The local community access the Folk for recreation, learning and socialising and have pride in their heritage. Through the employment of specific staff there is a professional and efficient delivery of strategic objectives with support from the board of trustees. The long-term future of these unique historic buildings is secured for generations to enjoy for years to come.
