Faversham Creek Trust is the only charity in Faversham dedicated to protecting the maritime heritage of the Creek as an asset for all the community to enjoy & learn about. We welcome your support to uphold the boatbuilding and maritime trades that have a home in our Purifier Building, to campaign for an opening bridge so that the basin of the Creek can become a heritage harbour and to encourage leisure and educational activities on the Creek as a whole.
At the Purifier building - headquarters of the Creek Trust - our mission is to fight for the Creek as a genuine heritage project: the skills of boatbuilders and other maritime trades could be passed on to young people; traditional boats would find a haven in the basin; and through which the Creek could be a resource for all the community to use.
