Get Involved

Our weekly groups are at the heart of our activities for children and young people. They are run by volunteers and usually last between one and two hours.

In our groups, young people learn new skills, form lifelong friendships and explore big ideas through fun activities. Our volunteers support young people to shape the group programme for themselves, express their views and have a positive impact on the world around them.

We aim to make our groups accessible and open to all young people who want to join. Contact your local group to find out more.

Being a Group Leader is a fantastic opportunity to work with enthusiastic groups of young people over a period of time and to really see the benefit your support is giving those young people.

I so appreciate what Woodcraft gives to my son and other children – a chance to be connected with nature – and realise that it cannot continue without people getting involved... the camaraderie and the personal challenge makes it an extremely fulfilling experience.

It's a brilliant experience to be amongst children and young people working our at a very practical level what is meant by 'empowering'. Overtime I have shifted from planning and running evenings for 6-7 year olds to taking a facilitating role where I support teenagers to organise themselves.
