Who are the staff at EcoWeeks?

All our staff are unpaid - they work on EcoWeeks because they believe in what we do and because it's fun.

• Volunteers share and lead activities with the children. They are carefully vetted (all necessary checks are completed) and then undertake appropriate preparation and training with us. Many have worked with children before, often with scouts, guides, woodcraft folk and other organisations. We make sure they have the skills needed to keep a group of children safe and happy and start building a repertoire of activities.

• The EcoWeek Directors have many years experience of residential holidays for children, at CAT, Hagg Farm or elsewhere. They take overall responsibility for 'their' EcoWeek, with help from Assistant Directors who have worked for at least two years as volunteers and then undertaken additional training.

• There are no domestic staff. All members of the EcoWeek community, children and adults, share tasks like washing up and cleaning.
