Updates on COVID-19

Recent update 16th March 2020

In response to the Government's latest announcement we confirm that all face to face Woodcraft Folk activities from today should be postponed until Monday 1st June 2020. This includes all May camps and any residential experiences planned for what remains of the Spring and early Summer terms.

From the 17th March we've asked all of our staff at Folk Office to work from home when possible until further notice. Folk Office is not closed and we will continue to provide a service to our members, however there may be some delays. For more information about this, please click here.

As a co-operative movement, a movement of people coming together we need to explore ways in which we can support each other and our communities at this challenging times. It is important that we do not lose touch with each other and that we create opportuities for children and young people to collaborate.

The Development team are working on a programme of virtual meetings, opportunities for individuals to dial in to activities facilitated by our members. If you feel you could facilitate an activity for the wider membership please do get in touch. The Development team are also drafting session plan ideas that groups can lead themselves virtually or individually with their families - we hope to have these activities with you by Friday.

Common Ground Pre-Camp will take place as a series of virtual meetings, discussions and taster sessions throughout May. A full programme will be shared by the end of this month.

The Common Ground team continue to make plans for the international camp in August. A Common Ground CVOID19 Update will be issued by the end of this month.
