Girlguiding offer International Opportunities to members, these are fantastic opportunities for girls to learn more about the world, themselves and make lasting friendships.

To support fundraising for girls going on trips we are doing a metal recycling collection after Christmas. So if you are clearing out, doing any DIY or even just foil from sweets & food trays (please clean them though!), please save them for us.

5th Poynton Guides celebrated the Coronation at Camp last weekend. We had our own "street party" with triffles and cupcakes cooked in the Trangia's, and I realised that I can still climb a climbing wall! new volunteers always welcome, join the adventure!

Many congratulations to Helen Humphreys who at the weekend was awarded Girlguiding’s highest award . the Silver Fish.

To us in Poynton, where Helen lives, she is one of the many leaders who work with our units weekly to give over 250 girls in Poynton the fun, learning and adventure that Girlguiding brings, but Helen has many other roles over her 40 plus years of service to Girlguiding.
Helen has several roles in Girlguiding Manchester, where she is a Rainbow Leader and County President. She has been heavily involved in the running of their County Campsite, Seven Springs in Disley.
Helen has held many advisor roles both within Manchester, Girlguiding North West Region and nationally, and is currently a Region Trainer.
Helen has been part of teams delivering ground-breaking Regional and National events, such as Fusion and World in One City, and has led committees to drive programme initiatives.
I’ve been lucky enough to take Guides to some of these events and many years on I can truly say they were memorable and some of the best days I’ve had within Girlguiding.
Thank you Helen, for your true dedication and your passion for Girlguiding and everything you have done and continue to do, and huge congratulations
Catherine Johnson
Middlewood Division Commissioner
