Financial Support
We now have a fabulous new stores and training centre as a result of immense generosity from our supporters.
To complete the new centre we want to build a metalworking and woodworking workshop. We need to be able to sharpen those saws, mend our pickaxes and spades and clean and repair all those wobbly handles to make them shipshape for more weeks in the field. This needs to be done in a separate space because of health and safety concerns.
Can you help?
Our policy is that no child will be refused a place due to financial circumstances. FSC offers assistance with camp fees to families who cannot afford to pay the full amount, in addition to providing any camp equipment they need, such as tents, sleeping bags and waterproofs. In 2023 we supported 112 children whose parents could not afford the full fees.
Can you help us ensure that no camper is turned away because of lack of funds?
Other ways to support FSC:

Leave a gift in your will
We all understand the power of spending time in nature and building communities that grow together and share our skills. From songs around the campfire, to learning new skills. From climbing mountains, to making lifelong friends. These moments are priceless, and a legacy gift can help these go on for many generations to come.
Please click here for our legacy pack, which includes all you need to leave a legacy by a codicil to your existing Will or to add a legacy to your new Will. If you would like to discuss your donation or legacy then please contact us at legacy.officer@fsc.org.uk
Start a local collection
Whether you’re wanting to get your local community involved, or you’re running an FSC event, we’ve got FSC collection tubs you can use to securely collect donations. Please email fundraising@fsc.org.uk to organise getting your tubs, as well as some advice and best practice for collecting donations in this way. It’s also easy to set up a fundraising page on Just Giving.
Organise a fundraising event
There are so many ways you can support FSC, and we’d love to help you in any way we can!
Why not organise a ceilidh with your friends and collect donations for FSC while having a jig! Or you could have a bake sale at work or school? Why not do a sponsored hike?
Fundraising for FSC is a great way to support a cause you care about, as well as sharing your love of the outdoors with friends. These are just some ideas, so don’t be afraid to think outside the box! It’s easy to set up a fundraising page on Just Giving
