The FSC was established in 1943 to provide environmental education to children moved out of cities during WWII.
The charity has since grown into a national environmental organisation with residential and day centres that aim to:
✓ Increase our understanding and caring of the natural world
✓ Get more young people outdoors
✓ Increase people’s health and wellbeing through outdoor education

Carbon Footprint
FSC has reduced its own carbon emissions by 34% since 2011
➔ 389 tonnes of carbon dioxide saved
➔ Driving one of our mini buses around the world 51 times
By investing in local, renewable energy production at our centres we have reduced our reliance on fossil fuels to less than 50% in 2018.

Green Energy
Around 95% of FSC buildings are now supplied with green electricity from Ecotricity
As well as having our green electricity supplied, we now produce around 17% of
our energy needs through our own sources.
