To support groups and Districts in their search for grant funding we are looking for a team of enthusiastic volunteers who are willing to proof-read funding applications. You don't need to be an expert on fundraising, often another set of eyes on an application can pick up any obvious omissions.

We are also looking for volunteers who would be willing to promote funding opportunities, encouraging local groups and Districts to apply by simply sharing example and model applications.

This weekend Venturer Committee met and, along with other Woodcraft members with key Venturer Camp roles, continued to plan Venturer Camp and the future development of Venturer Committee. This is the first of a number of articles which aim to talk about, amongst other things, elections, bookings, transport, volunteer roles, centres and how we are using Shakespeare to explore Woodcraft’s aims and principles. If there is something you would particularly like us to write about e-mail vcamp@woodcraft.org.uk.
