The Associates of Epping Forest Field Centre has been supporting and raising awareness of and funds for the work of the Field Studies Council at Epping Forest Field Centre for over 20 years.
The Associates deliver projects and community activities, specifically for disadvantaged children, young people and families, those living in areas of socio-economic deprivation and children with special needs.

As someone who lives in the Epping Forest district and uses the forest on an almost daily basis, this is a charity that is close to me; everyone needs to experience nature, particularly in this technically driven world that we live in.
