Achievements and Performance:
Girlguiding Weston-super-Mare shares the aims and objectives of Girlguiding. Our programme gives girls and young women opportunities to develop emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually and provides them with endless hours of fun, friendship, adventure and variety. The girls gain valuable life skills which in turn enable them to make a positive contribution to their communities and the wider world. The programme consists of 6 sections which are followed from our Rainbows up to our Ranger section helping them to grow along with the themes. The sections are – Know Myself, Express Myself, Be Well, Have Adventures, Take Action ans Skills for my Future. Each section is designed to stretch and challenge girls of all abilities and enable them to develop core skills throughout their Guiding journey,
We also aim to take care of our Adult Leaders who all willingly volunteer to help enrich the lives of girls and young women.
2022 was Girlguiding Weston-super-Mare’s first full year back to unit meetings after the Covid outbreak. Our membership numbers decreased during the lockdown but have increased and
are continuing to rise although we still need more adult volunteers to enable us to offer Girlguiding to more girls. We adopted Girlguiding’s strategy plan of for ‘today, tomorrow, together’. The strategy encourages us to go on more adventures, welcome new friends, have even more fun, whilst better supporting our current and future volunteers. We’ll be led by what girls want and need, we’ll learn new skills and help one another become more confident and we’ll make positive change in our communities locally and nationally.
Girls and Leaders have enjoyed getting back to camping, pack holidays and sleepovers and some have taken part in Girlguiding International events. They have been given the opportunity to visit and welcome to their units representatives from many businesses and charities in our area to enhance their programme.
Our Adult Leaders have undertaken online training sessions in how to use online tools for unit meetings and for topics such as First Response and the Girlguiding programme. Safe Space trainings have been done by all adult volunteers to ensure they are compliant with Girlguiding’s requirements for their role.
With the dedication of the Division Commissioner and her team of District Commissioners and Advisors, Girlguiding Weston-super-Mare has continued to function strongly and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
