The TREE Programme

The TREE programme aims for children and young people to get the best possible deal from the Woodcraft Folk by ensuring they have a voice and influence at every level.

The programme will help Woodcraft Folk achieve the aims of the Big Plan by supporting Training, Representation, Equality and Engagement. Project activities will be developed at local and national level in consultation with young people and group leaders.

With complete support from TREE staff, young people will have the opportunity to:

• Take on new and existing roles
• Act on issues they care about in their community
• Represent themselves and others on a District, Regional or national level

Groups and leaders will have access to:

• Training in youth leadership and inclusion issues
• Funding for local projects and national campaigns
• New materials to attract young people and helpers to join local groups
• Programme activities for group nights

Through TREE, the Woodcraft Folk will:

• Involve a greater diversity of young people
• Keep young people active in the Woodcraft Folk
• Support young people to lead Woodcraft Folk groups and events
• Help young people to participate fully in planning and decision-making
• Share our ideas and successes with other organisations
