FolkActive CIC
 At FolkActive we’re passionate about sharing active, skilful and joyful engagement in the folk arts with everyone.
 
We’re a social enterprise based in southern Hampshire. We use traditional music, songs and dances as fabulously flexible tools for achieving our aims of:

• improving health and wellbeing,
• bringing communities together, and
• educating young and old, to connect and engage with their folk heritage in lively and relevant ways.
