This week is volunteers week so as we finalise our preparations for the last term of the year, we want to take time this week to thank and celebrate the amazing volunteers who make our group happen. This amazing group ladies commit to supporting, encouraging and equipping our girls as they learn, grow and discover who God made them to be. We all have different backgrounds and responsibilities but come together as a team each week to make GB happen. Everyone one of us has (quite literally!) grown up in GB so are passionate about providing opportunities for the girls and young women we work just like we have all benefited from. The time that these ladies devote to our group with planning activities, attending training sessions, providing pastoral support for our girls and their families as well as our Friday evening sessions is quite simply amazing! This year alone all of that adds up to over 200 volunteer hours!

Thank you so much for everything you do Steph, Gina, Rachel, Kay, Cath, Zoe, Hannah, Skye and Jess!

This week our younger girls did some exploring around the church to see what signs of Spring they could find - lots of flowers, a butterfly, a bee and of course lots of lovely sunshine! All finished off by making beautiful Spring crowns.

Have a wonderful half term break everyone!

Thank you to our oldest girls for making these yummy biscuits for our church members to enjoy this morning as part of their lifeskills badge! They were delicious and were snapped up very quickly!

Fantastic devotions led by our younger girls today. They showed us how to do some action songs before sharing a prayer together. Brilliant work girls!
