Subs Donations

Hackney Woodcraft Folk currently receives 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, as well as storage and upkeep of our camping equipment, is £25 per young person per term and suggest this as a donation.  

It is really important to emphasise that this is a voluntary 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.

We rely on these donations to operate and are asking members to commit to making regular donations if they can, as you might do with any other charity. 

• Donating by Standing Order are preferred and allow you to spread costs over the year.
  Please set up a monthly SO for £6.25 (or whatever amount you can afford), or alternatively £25 every 4 months (Jan / May / Sept)

• Alternatively, please make subs donation promptly at the beginning of each term by BACs payment.
