October is Black History Month!

Black History Month is all about celebrating and acknowledging the impact that black people have had on shaping culture and society. At Girlguiding North West England we are proud to be committed to being a diverse and inclusive organisation, where all members know they belong. You can read our Inclusion resource for information on resources to use within your units that start conversations about race and the importance of creating a safe and inclusive environment for members✨

The nomination this shout-out Sunday was for our very own Jennifer from 11th st Anne's guides!

This Shout Out Sunday, we're giving a Shout-out to Jennifer Bentley from 11th St. Annes Guides in Girlguiding Lancashire West! ✨

Kate nominated Jennifer for a shout-out and said:

‘Jennifer goes above and beyond in her roles in the county and in her unit leadership. Despite being the only leader for her unit, she still strives for all the girls to achieve everything they aim for, and still manages to arrange trips and camps for her unit combined with others. She completed her going away with licence this year and has taken girls away to PGL with a pantomime trip coming up in December. She is a busy Bee! Alongside her unit she is the county secretary and treasurer, attending all the activities and meetings this involves. Her dedication to guiding is obvious and the amount she does for those around her really shows why she deserves a shoutout this Sunday!’

Well done Jennifer! Thank you for all that you do ✨❤️

If you know an extra special leader, unit helper, or young leader who deserves a shout-out for all their amazing work please email [email protected] with some photos and a description of the incredible volunteer you'd like to nominate.
