FSC Membership
Thank you for your interest in joining Field Studies Council (FSC). We are the only environmental education charity dedicated solely to helping people of all ages to discover, explore and be inspired by the natural environment. FSC believes that the more we know about the world around us the more we can appreciate its needs and protect its diversity and beauty for future generations.
Joining FSC supports our work to inspire young people to understand and experience the natural world including the wider benefits that a greater appreciation of nature can bring.
All of your membership subscription will go directly to providing financial support for young people to take part in an FSC experience through FSC Kids Fund, Bursary Fund, Young Darwin Scholarship or other similar initiatives.
FSC Kids Fund gives grants to disadvantaged groups to attend FSC Courses. In 2012 FSC Kids Fund provided financial support which helped 315 young people experience an FSC Course.

FSC Bursary Fund provides support to individuals who are from disadvantaged backgrounds enabling them to take part in FSC curriculum focussed courses with their school class. In 2012 we awarded FSC Bursaries to 107 students.
