Make a Donation
Support our mission to honor and support the Gurkha community
About the Memorial Fund
It was only through the support and donations of thousands of people across East Kent, the UK and even overseas that we were able to erect the Folkestone Gurkha memorial. It took six years of fundraising and over £60,000 in total to see the statue unveiled as a unique memorial here in Folkestone to the contribution of the Gurkhas, marking our respect for their service, and also the positive role they are playing as a part of the wider community.
If you support our ongoing aims, we would value a donation, however modest, to support our work. Thank you.
