We are adapting our work to reach as many children and young people as possible during the COVID-19 outbreak. To address youth loneliness and support emotional well-being we have launched #DreamBigAtHome. However, this crisis has also caused a sudden and extreme drop in our income, we must raise funds to ensure our core work and fund our pivot in approach to ensure we can continue supporting young people through this time.

Our #DreamBigAtHome campaign:

We are adapting our work to reach as many children and young people as possible during the COVID-19 outbreak.

To address youth loneliness and support emotional well-being we have launched #DreamBigAtHome - a campaign providing:

- A website with a new searchable interface, making more than 100 of our activities accessible from home

- A LIVE programme of games, singing, story-telling and more

- Physical packs and resource materials to share these activities with families experiencing digital disadvantage and food poverty

- Social action workshops, supporting young people to create their solutions to community issues

We need your help

To ensure the future of Woodcraft Folk and allow us to continue to meet the needs of children and young people through #DreamBigAtHome we need your help.

Our centres support over 31, 418 people every year

Our outreach work reaches over 7,743 children and young people in the community each year

There are more than 5,250 children and young people engaged in our weekly groups

We have over 3,000 volunteers working in their communities across the country

The #DreamBigAtHome website and resources have so far reached over 3,000 families across the UK

To continue reaching and supporting so many children, young people and families across the country we need to raise money. Funds raised through this campaign will contribute to #DreamBigAtHome and to Woodcraft Folk's running costs and charitable objectives. Like most organisations, COVID19 has interrupted our usual charitable activities - our groups cannot meet, our camps and events have been postponed and our residential centres stand empty. We predict that we will experience a £1.5 million reduction in planned income during 2020. Despite facing financial difficulties, we remain committed to delivering our aims and principles to children and young people - continuing to deliver education for social change.

About Woodcraft Folk

At Woodcraft Folk we believe passionately in equality and co-operation: everyone is welcome to join us. Our aim is to have great fun, but also to develop children's self-confidence and build their awareness of society around them. Through our activities, outings and camps we help our members to understand important issues like the environment, world debt and global conflict, to develop activities focused on sustainable development, and to encourage children to think, hoping that they will help build a peaceful, fairer world.
