Kinsfolk Life Membership

Support Woodcraft Folk for life!
Signing up as a Kinsfolk Life Member today ensures our crucial youth work continues and is here for generations to come.

What is Life Membership?

For more than a century, Woodcraft Folk has been empowering young people to speak up on issues important to them, connecting them with nature, helping them to grow in confidence, develop crucial skills, make friends and explore the world whilst learning the power of cooperation. 

Now you can be part of that story, for life! Joining as a Kinsfolk Life Member means a commitment to supporting Woodcraft Folk for life. 

Help secure the future of our organisation and the next 100 years of Woodcraft Folk – join as a Kinsfolk Life Member today!

Kinsfolk Life Membership is a membership that lasts longer than a year. Pay forward your membership fees for future years in a one-off payment. This generous lifelong support allows Woodcraft Folk to better develop plans, strategies and events, ensuring our work is accessible for young people, for years to come.

This membership offer is open to everyone, whether you are a current Woodcraft Folk member, alumni or this is the first you have heard of us! 

What is the impact of being a life member?

Whilst we are thrilled to have celebrated our centenary last year, like many organisations right now we are facing financial struggles and need all the support we can get.  Our future is under threat. 

Becoming a Kinsfolk Life Member of Woodcraft Folk is an opportunity to support sustaining the work we do and enables us to ensure our organisation can continue to deliver engaging youth work including teaching new skills, creating safe spaces and bringing life changing experiences to children and young people across the country and beyond. 

You are not just securing your own membership with Woodcraft Folk but also helping to fund opportunities for the next generation of change makers and Woodcraft Folk young members.
