STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young vrnen in the UK. As an organisation Girlguiding help5 to build gir15' confidence and raises their aspirations. We give them the chance to discover their full potential and encourage them to be a powerful force for good. We give them a space to have fun.

We have held training opportunities for our leaders to continue to update their knowledge to enhance the many different activltles the girls participate in.

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Our Mlsslon is: through fun, friendship, challenge and adventure we empower girls to find their voice, Insplrlng 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 all over Dorset offering weekly meetings, camping, indoor holidays, activity days, social evenings and international traveL. With the easing of COVID restrictions a slow and cautious resumption of face-to- face meetings began. The reduction in number of young members and volunteers, alongside the loss of venues has had an impact and this has seen many Units either closing or amalgamating. Much work has taken place within the Growth and Retention section, with the team attending several County show5 to publicise and to recruit volunteers. A celebration event was held at the Dorset Falconry Park for those glrls, and their parent, who had achieved their Gold Award at the end of their time in the Sect10n. Leaders were invited to 'Thank you, events, survival training and as well as the usual First response, safe space and programme opportunities. Celebrations were also held to mark the Queen's Platfnum Jubilee, including several Beacons being lit across the County. The Royal Signals at Blandford held an event for the Guide section. April saw the retirement of our County Administrator. A revlew of the changing needs of the County took place and the recrultment process started. FINANCIAL REVIEW The reserves on 30 September 2022 amount to £383,241 TRUSTEES, DECLARATION The trustees declare that they have approved the trustee's report above.
