The Fibrus Community Fund is open for applications! Last year, 1st Portrush Brownies received a grant to buy iPads for their unit.

Ayla Sims, Unit Leader, 1st Portrush Brownies said: "We are grateful for this support from Fibrus, which will make a meaningful difference for the girls in our Brownie Unit. Our unit has grown significantly, and the iPads will allow the girls to work in small groups to engage in a range of creative, collaborative and girl-led tasks, from making Lego Stop-Motion Movies and promotional videos to interactive quizzes, badge work, and navigating trails in our local area. The funding allows us to continue delivering a high-quality, modern programme that builds confidence and digital skills while strengthening teamwork and communication."

This is the last round of funding for 2026, and it closes 16 October at 1pm. Don't miss out! Visit
