Girlguiding Anglia annual report Year ended 31 December 2025 Girlguiding Anglia Chair of trustees. report for 2025 2025 started well forthe chlets teom largely thanks to Laura Kennard who brought a wealth of finance experience to the team. Laura very quickly got to work and ottended finance meetings. She also took on the role of interim region treasurer when our treasurer stepped down to have a baby. Laura worked hard with the finance team in the office and th8committee to bring in changes. Thiswas strengthened bythe oppointment of our new executive manager, Fiona Hunter, who brings financial experience and understanding to the ottice teom. This olso led to the appointment of o new interim finance manager, David Fannon. Laura will be moving into a governance role now as we look to further embed our new constitution and support counties with governance. In late 2024 £41,000 was received from The Guide Association to support guidkng units in 2025. This work has been ably led by Claire Course, deputy chief commissioner, who has built a team to ensure that units are able to help girls 8xperiencing financial insecurity wlth the costs of guiding; allow existing members to continue enjoying guiding experiences; crecrte more guiding opportunities in deprived areas where we have no presence. and help struggllng unlts to stay open. Unfortunately, in 2026, Girlguiding will not b8 ableto off8rthis fund but we havecommitted to setting aside money so that Girlguiding Anglia can continue to support units in this way. Towards the end of th8 yèar, we worked on grants and have agreed a whole new set of grants which, at the time of writing this report are about to be lounched. We wont to support units ond young members to enjoy guiding across the region and to be able to take part in amazing opportunities. With more and new events taking place in different venues around the region, the executive agreed the new trovel bursary which is offered automatically when units kx)ok on a trip orto attend an event.The amountvaries depending on the number of miles to be travelled. Hautbois Activlty Centre staff held our very first Brownie spectacular. An event for Brownres oround the region to come along and enjoy in August. Hautbois Fest makes a return in summer 2026. Tickets went on sale in late 2025 and have already sold out. Following the update to our constitution, we have moved forward ond have new members who have joined the executivecommittee which has led to robust discussions and some very strong decisions. Charlottewright has worked hard to introduce the girls advocate panel (GAP) and appointed Hannah Jeans to the role ot chair of GAP. Hannah hos joined the executive and has brought a whole new dynamic. The GAP hold their meetings during the week leading up to the executive and we are passing more and more to them for their opinions before it comes to the executive. l am so proud of how well this is working, and I feel that we are truly listenlng to and being led by girls, our young members.
Girlguiding Anglia annual report Year ended 31 December 2025 Girlguiding Anglia Following a considerable amount of worl intgrnationols are back on the map. We hove updated our international grants for both adult leaders and our young members so thot mor8 members can take part in overseas adventure. In 2025, trips to Azores and Morocco took place. This was largely thanks to very successful odult trips to Switzerland and India which were ably led by Pauline Hall (deputy international lead) ond Tina Powell (international lead volunteer). Sn April 2026, we will be holding a selection event for adults so that we ore prepared for trfps in 2027 and beyond. Claire Course has worked extremely hard to fully embed the membership experience committee. As a team, they are working hord to ensure that communication is a top priority ond that our members ara listened to so tha¢ as o region, we offer what is wanted. This has led to takeover events which are planned to take place around the region - not all of our members can get to Hautbois Activity Centre very easily. Hertfordshire Zoo, a takeover event, took place in September 2025 and we will be taking over Wicksteed Park in early 2026 and hove o huge tokeover for Brownies planned at 3 PGL sites in September of 2026. As our annual subscriptions for this year clos8, we are olready working on next year with subscriptions looking different. Adult members will no longer be charged. This will have an impact on our members across the region, and we are working to ensure that we can support with training for budgeting and to support units financially where necessary. In 2025, we held our region roadshow so that we could listen to members to hear where they would like our region to go next and what our members would like from us. This led directly into writing our strategy for 2026 to 2031 which is called 'For the Girl.. after all they are the reason we all give our time so freely. Our new strategy is due to be launched later in 2026. Our members helped us to write it so it's only fair that we shar8 it with them now that it's complete. Stephanle Arnold. our deputy executlve manager, has worked hard to produce th8 Strategy for our young members too. down to the youngest Rainbow so please watch this spoce. This led to writing our business plan in the summer which was shar8d in draft form with members of the membership experience committee so that lead volunteers and staff portners could come together and write their action plans for 2026. Soon after this. budgets for all teams were completed and shored with all. The aim is that reports for budget holders and committees will be shared regularly. This hos been o huge piece of worK ond l am so thankful for the team around me who have made this happen. In March of 2025, Girlguiding Anglia received a sum of money from the DCMS (Department for Digital, Culture, Media. and Sport). As an executive we challenged tha staff team to set up a growth plan ond use this fund to not only support growth in 2025 but to look ot what we do as a region moving forward.
