Folkborough

Welcome to Folkborough - Where Communities Call Home. Living in a community in the digital age can be very different for different people. The way we communicate with each other has evolved and has influenced the lifestyles we choose to live. We can connect with so many more people than we could ever have imagined, and gain access to vast volumes of information with just a click of a button. While technology helps us to improve the way we live and think, we still see and feel a great lack of a sense of community connection within neighbourhoods, or a sense of belonging for those who live in them. Folkborough seeks to facilitate this process of community connection, in the hope of creating safe and welcoming environments in which people can enjoy living more enjoyable and vibrant lives. It aims to combat: • Lack of connection and identity amongst residents in a local community, which can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. • Not being able to find important information and news regarding one's own community that can be shared quickly and easily. • Disconnect and inability to learn about local services and events in the area, and for these services to connect meaningfully with local residents around them. How can Folkborough help to build thriving communities? • A digital platform to help neighbours connect with each other. • Enable residents to find out and subscribe to great local businesses that are relevant for them. • Distribute community related news effectively and create better living experience for residents. • Make life more enjoyable in the community and enable better wellbeing for residents and businesses.
