Sources of Support

As your group grows and develops, you will discover new challenges. With experience, volunteers will grow in confidence, and teams will find ways of working together that suit them – but this is a job that is never finished! In a movement as large and diverse as Woodcraft Folk there are many opportunities for volunteers to access support and training as and when they need it.
 
Woodcraft Folk’s most valuable asset is the thousands of volunteers who work in our groups across the UK.

Please do not hesitate to contact safeguarding@woodcraft.org.uk for advice, support and report a concern.

Running a centre at a camp

Have you ever wanted to take an activity you're passionate about to a Woodcraft event or camp - or even to another organisation's event - to share it with others? Tents offering weird, wonderful and inspiring activities often spring up at Venturer Camp and International Camps, from the culinary to the political (and sometimes both! Venturer Camp 2010 offered political baking sessions which were really popular).

Kate loves sustainable costume-making, and shared her skills and enthusiasm for it with the Dressing Up Box at Venturer Camp. Download her story below.
