A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year
We had an average membership of 18 girls during the financial year to 31[st] March 2024. During the year, the Brownie members had opportunities to work towards a variety of interest and challenge badges. We continued with the new Girlguiding programme and earned a number of Skill Builder badges and completed the Unit Meeting Activities. We continue to ensure that each girl is challenged to reach her full potential while having fun in a safe girl only space.
There was no harm flowing from the Charities purposes and there was no private benefit.
