Cudham Environmental Activities Centre, Woodcraft Folk
Young People
We want to redecorate and improve our residential facilities so that more children can benefit from enjoying activities in the countryside.
About this cause
Cudham centre, a branch of the Woodcraft Folk (WF), is covered by the WF objects with the specific object of fulfilling the advancement of education and empowerment of children and young people for the public benefit. To achieve this Cudham provides both day and residential programmes for: organised children's groups, e.g. Woodcraft Folk, Cub Scouts, international youth groups; primary, junior and senior schools and home schooling groups; staff and leader training events; local environmental groups. Cudham centre provides valuable opportunities for children and young people to explore the countryside in a safe environment, to learn bushcraft activities, to observe wild animals such as deer and badgers, and to experience communal living with their peers and group leaders / teachers.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Cudham centre has developed good relationships with our neighbours and the local community. Local children's groups have stayed at the centre and benefited from the facilities, as have community groups such as Kith & Kids, Croydon Drop In. The planned building improvements will further increase the attraction of Cudham as a children's residential centre for local schools and children's groups.
