Woodcraft Folk
Every week, across the UK, volunteers and young people meet in school halls, community venues and a host of other places to learn about big ideas through fun activities like singing, camping, playing and debating.
We are looking for volunteers to help support and lead our Glasgow groups.
Our aim is to have great fun, but also to try to develop children’s self-confidence and build their awareness of society around them.
Through our activities, outings and camps we help our members to:
- understand important issues like the environment, world debt and global conflict
- develop activities focused on sustainable development
- encourage children to think, hoping that they will help build a peaceful, fairer world.

Woodcraft Folk are looking for group leaders and helpers for our Glasgow Kelvingrove, Glasgow East End, and Glasgow Southside groups. There are groups for children and young people of differing age ranges from under 6's to 13-16's. The groups meet one evening a week in term time but may organise day trips and camps in school holidays.Our groups aim to develop children and young people's confidence and awareness of the world. We promote big ideas like equality, co-operation and environmental sustainability through fun activities.We do a wide range of activities including games, craft, exploring nature, bushcraft, drama, discussions and songs. As well as weekly group nights we take part in day events and camps with groups from across Scotland.If you are interested in joining our friendly team of volunteers please get in touch with Fleur Gayet, Scottish Officer by emailing scotland@woodcraft.org.uk or phoning 07833 051 557. We will provide induction information, taster sessions and training opportunities.
Ideally we are looking for volunteers who can commit weekly, during term time. Kelvingrove and Southside meet on a Wednesday evening. Our East End group meets on a Monday evening. If you are able to help less regularly we would still be interested in hearing from you.
