Wishing our members, their families & the local community a Hoppy Easter!

Have a cracking day with your family & friends! If you get time, why not crack the codes the Easter Bunny left when scrambling our words instead of eggs... Maybe it could go towards the CodeBreaker interest badge😉🥚

One thing parents often tell us is how much their girls love guiding 💗
They notice:
• Growing confidence
• New friendships beyond school
• Pride in learning new skills
• Excitement about coming each week
Seeing girls happy, settled and thriving means everything.

Sounds like something your daughter would like? https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-for-parents/register-a-child/

What does volunteering with Girlguiding really look like?

It looks like:
• Working as part of a team
• Sharing responsibilities
• Supporting each other
• Laughing together
No one does this alone. There’s guidance, structure and support every step of the way.
Volunteering should feel rewarding — not overwhelming

Every Girlguiding meeting is built around helping girls grow 🌱
Our programme focuses on six key themes:

This Mother’s Day we’re celebrating Mothers, Aunts, Grandmothers and Volunteers from Girlguiding families across the generations. 💐

Did you know many of our volunteers and members were inspired by their mums, grandmas or other family members who were part of Girlguiding before them?

Guiding has been bringing families together for generations – creating memories, confidence and lifelong friendships along the way.

💬 We’d love to hear your story:
Are you part of a guiding family? Share your photo or memory in the comments!

Many volunteers start by thinking: “I couldn’t do that…”

But what they often discover is:
You don’t need special qualifications.
You don’t need to have all the answers.
You don't need to give up all your free time.
You just need to be willing to show up and show that you care.

Skills can be learned.
Support is always there.
Girls' confidence grows — for adults too.

Girlguiding has plenty of flexible volunteering opportunities like occasional unit helper, division admin, residential/trip support and much more!
