Woodcraft Folk is always keen to expand into new communities — if you would like to be part of setting up a new group in your area we’d love to hear from you.

Woodcraft Folk’s membership team can support you to connect with other potential volunteers, access training and plan the launch of your group.

Complete the form below to register your interest, or email membership@woodcraft.org.uk to find out more.

If you do not have a group nearby, 10-15 year olds can also sign up to Voyager membership here so that they can be part of the movement at home.
