Motion text

That this House congratulates the Woodcraft Folk for its 80-year long contribution to the development of the youth of this country toward active citizenship; notes that this national organisation is one of the few that have truly empowered young people via its commitment to international understanding through well recognised children's and youth exchanges; also notes that in the year of the volunteer the Woodcraft Folk is featured as an exemplary case study on the Government's Sustainable Development website; is alarmed that despite all these facts Woodcraft Folk funding from the Department for Education and Skills through the National Voluntary Youth Organisations Grant Scheme has been withdrawn in this current funding round and for the next three years; and calls upon the Government to review this decision as a matter of urgency so that the valuable work of the Woodcraft Folk can continue.
