We operate a number of groups in Hackney, and while some groups are currently at capacity, places do become available. We therefore operate a waiting list system.
We encourage a diverse range of members, particularly those under-represented in our groups. Where groups demonstrate an under-representation of a particular protected characteristic such as race or gender, we may, in limited circumstances, consider the protected characteristics of those on the waiting lists and select new members from these lists on grounds of under-representation rather than place on the list. This is only the case where specific under-representation at any particular time can be identified, in order to ensure that local groups are inclusive and reflect the makeup of our local communities. More details about our inclusion and equality of opportunity policy can be found here.
If you have any questions please contact us at hackney@woodcraft.org.uk
Hackney Woodcraft runs as a parent-led co-op. This means that while a group has some named coordinators, you will find lots of parents running sessions, and everyone is invited to help plan and lead some sessions each term.
What does it cost?
What does it cost?
We currently receive no regular external funding. All of our costs have to be covered by donations, either from members (subs) or from fundraising activities.
We estimate the amount the district needs to raise to cover hall rents, group registration, insurance, group and district activities and upkeep of our camping equipment plus subsidising group nights, camps and outings for those on low incomes is £25 per young person per term and suggest this as a donation.
It is really important to emphasise that this is a donation, not a fee, and that those that struggle to afford this should not be prevented from being involved. We recognise that some people may not be able to make this donation and therefore suggest a reduced donation of £20 for siblings or those on limited income.
Of course, you may choose to donate less than this (or more) if you wish.
No young person shall be excluded from any Hackney Woodcraft Folk activity due to financial hardship. If this is a concern for you please talk to your group coordinator or the District Treasurer.
Adult Membership

We also encourage adults to become a full member of Woodcraft Folk, which costs £41 pa (or £12 low waged) and be DBS checked in order to become involved in running sessions.
Please see our ADULT MEMBERSHIP and DBS page for info
Again, if this cost is a barrier for you, we can help with that.
Health and Contact Information
Health and Contact Information
When joining Woodcraft you will be registering your details on a system called Groop.
We will invite you to login to Hackney's District Groop system where you will be able to link your central Woodcraft account and also complete some important contact, health and consent details about your child. This is a secure system and is very important for our ability to run sessions as well as safeguard and insure young people for activities within Woodcraft.
