Woodcraft Folk Action Projects

Woodcraft Folk Action Projects is a new scheme supported by the TREE programme to help groups of young Woodcraft Folk run projects. Groups, districts and other collectives of young members can apply for up to £500 each to run their own ‘action projects’ on an issue chosen by young people.

Each term there is the chance to apply for a small grant. The deadline for the current round of applications is Sunday 1st July 2012.

What is a Woodcraft Folk Action Project?

  • A project planned and run by young people, to address an issue (or issues) that is important to them
  • A project that has a positive impact on your community – be that your Woodcraft Folk community, your local community or a wider group

To get some ideas and inspiration, check out the Action Projects that Woodcraft groups are currently running.

How do I get involved?

  • As a group spend some time thinking about what issues are important to you, and what you might like to tackle with a project. If you’d like some ideas for activities to help do this, download our free resources pack.
  • Then develop a more detailed plan for your project and fill in an application form to get some funding to do this.
  • A panel of young people will then go through the applications at the end of each term and decide which projects to fund. You’ll hear back on your application before the holidays, so that the projects can kick off at the start of the next term.

Please note that due to restrictions on our funding, applications to the Action Project fund are open to Pioneers, Venturers and DFs from England only, for activity taking place within the UK.
