GOVERNING DOCUME￿ AND CONSTITUTION The Dorset Gufde Association, is a separately constituted branch of The Guide Association which is incorporated by Royal Charter. We have held training opportunities for our leaders to continue to update their knowledge to enhance the many different activities the girls participate In. Opportunities for all leaders to engage with the updated safe Space requirements were put in place. In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commlsslon's public benefit guidance. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEME Dorset Guide Association Is split into 13 Divisions, Blandford, Bournemouth North, Bournemouth South, Mid Dorset, North Dorset, North East Forest, North East Minster, Poole East, Poole West, Purbeck, South Dorset, Twynham and West Dorset. A Division Commissioner is appointed to each area for a period of five years and takes on the role of Trustee to the County as part of that appointment. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Our Mission is: through fun, frlendship, challenge and adventure we empower girls to find their voice, inspiring them to discover the best in themselves and to make a positive difference in their community. We offer a wealth of opportunities for girls, young women and adults on a regular basis. We have units aLI over Dorset offering weekly meetings, camping, indoor holidays, activity days, social evenings and international travel. March 2020 saw the start of the COVID 19 pandemic and Girlguiding took the decision to suspend all face-to.face meetings both indoor and outdoor. Many of our Units were able to organise and offer 'online' meetings enabling the girls to continue to have contact with each other, have fun and learn new ways to adapt and deliver the programme. The County developed several challenge badges for the girls to work on both independently and with their families.
