Our Chosen Charities

Walton Firs is one of the charities supported by Dixcart. This UK charity aims to encourage young people to get involved in outdoor activities, building confidence in themselves and working in a team.

The projects are detailed below and include: supporting disabled children and adults, providing toys to an orphanage, raising money for children and adults with cancer, and supporting individuals with chest and heart conditions.

Walton Firs Charity

The ‘Walton Firs Foundation’ is one of the charities supported by Dixcart. It was established in 2006 to purchase and preserve Walton Firs, so it could continue to be used by current and future generations of young people. Spread over 36 acres of grassland, woodland, flat areas and slopes, the site provides a superb environment for camping, skills training, games, nature and environmental studies, alongside other activities vital to young people both individually and together. The site is located close to the town of Cobham, Surrey, in the UK.

Walton Firs was owned and operated by the Scout Association for over 50 years. When the Association announced its plans to sell, the ‘Walton Firs Foundation’ was established and successfully raised £800,000 to buy the site.

More than 15,000 young people visit Walton Firs annually and its users include Surrey County Council, schools, Duke of Edinburgh Award schemes, youth bodies and organisations for the disabled, as well as many Scouts and Guides.

Much has been done to enhance Walton Firs since 2008, with many more plans in place for the future.
