Willow Foundation is a Hatfield-based charity providing special days for seriously ill 16-40 year olds. 50p from each Folk by the Oak ticket is donated to Willow. The 2011 festival raised £6,800 both through the ticket contribution and your own donations on the day. This takes the total raised since the first FBTO to almost £22,000! Many thanks to everyone who came and donated so generously.
