The Rainbow Centre is a Christian charity that delivers a range of services in Folkestone & Hythe District to provide support and hope to individuals and families experiencing deprivation or hardship.
Respect. Compassion. Excellence. Collaboration. Commitment.
As a Christian organisation we are committed to serving people of all faith groups and beliefs or none and recognise the worth of everyone.
We are passionate about inclusion and being non-judgemental, and respect all those we serve, treating our guests and clients with sympathy, consideration, kindness and fairness.
We recognise the support and help other local agencies offer, and know that through collaboration, we can achieve the best outcomes for those who access our services.
Our vision is to help build a community in which everyone is included and can have the opportunity to live and work in dignity with hope for the future. Our approach is to help people out of crises so that they can sustain themselves.

We have, at our peak, over 350 volunteers, without whom the organisation would be unable to offer the range of services dedicated to help the neediest people in our local community.

You can be part of our support team by making a donation to help sustain our presence in Folkestone & Hythe district.
