Charity helps children to make their voices heard in fighting climate change

Name Youth Strikes 4 Climate

Provider Woodcraft Folk

Climate change is the most urgent issue of our time. Yet not enough is being done. Children and young people are taking action because the adults entrusted with making policy decisions are not doing enough to address the impending climate crisis. That is the motivation behind the young people leading Youth Strikes 4 Climate.

As an organisation committed to the principles of "one world" and children's rights, Woodcraft Folk are supporting their young members to explore both their right to strike and climate change issues. From Leeds to Norwich, Edinburgh to Exeter, Woodcraft Folk members have taken an active role in the school strike protests including the recent UK day of action in February and a global day of strikes in March. Young people have also been exploring related activities in their regular group nights, in order to develop a critical awareness of the world and take action on issues which they care about.
