Meet the Team!

The Woodcraft Folk wing of the Bridges Project goes as follows:

Eppie Garton – Movement Coordinator

Eppie spearheaded the process of getting the project off the ground and now takes the leadership role of the Project within the Woodcraft Folk. Not only keeping everyone else in check, she’ll also be focussing on the global exchange programme.

Kieran Ford – Communications and Fundraising

Kieran focussed on getting the funds in order to reach our target for the trip this June, and looks to take a leadon this during the next twelve months. He will also be the voice of the project, keeping everyone informed of the process of the project as we move through the next few months.

Bridget Holtom – Programme Coordinator

Bridget is dead excited to be taking the programme of this project with open arms. She’ll be focussing her attention on getting Woodcraft members using educational resources and activity plans to engage with the conflict within their own districts and groups, as well as at national events.

Misha Franklin – Film Project Coordinator

Misha, with his previous experience of the region, has endeavoured to take the film under his wing and to coordinate from the UK to project to produce an engaging resource to educate young members about how the conflict affects the workings of young IFM members in the region.

Ben Raw – Technical Coordinator

Ben has taken it upon himself to be the technical man of the bunch – working on the logistics of our trips and programmes. Whether it’s bus timetables or budgeting for food – Ben’s the one for the job.
