Introduction to this toolkit
 

This toolkit is designed to help you to promote our Friends of the Folk scheme. 

Friends of the Folk is our scheme for those supporters of Woodcraft Folk who want to donate regularly to the national organisation, but don’t want to become members because, for example, they aren’t able to become active volunteers.

I hope that a quick scan of this list will allow you to find those sources appropriate to your district.
