Education team members Angela, Kirsty and Iain are raising
much needed funds for the FSC Kids Fund by running 10K on 11th June at Coed Llandegla. They hope to raise £540 to give 30 young people the
opportunity to visit FSC Preston Montford for a transformative learning experience.
FSC Kids Fund provides financial support for groups of
disadvantaged young people who would like to visit one of our centres for an
FSC experience. Past Kids Fund beneficiaries are young people in foster care,
those who are not in mainstream education, young people who are living a
women’s refuge and children from primary schools who have little or no access
to green space let alone the countryside. For more information: http://www.field-studies-council.org/about/fsc-kids-fund.aspx

kids from Westminster School came on a 4 night residential course at FSC Preston
Montford in 2016 and had an inspiring time, especially mammal trapping,
pictured. Westminster School said “The
pupils have been truly inspired from the amazing experience. Our plans for the
near future include: developing an outdoor learning classroom; having a ‘bird
box’ enterprise scheme; conservation work at the local nature reserve and more
visits to Preston Montford.’
Angela said “how
rewarding it was to see the young people develop in their confidence and team
working skills and to leave enthused to improve their school environment back
at Westminster. It would be great to offer the same experience to more.”
