A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year
An average of 10 girls were members of the unit during the financial year.
The Guides took part in a number of activities and events such as the community Hallowtides Parade, an activity day at Tollymore Outdoor Activity Centre, a sponsored dance-athon for charity.
The Guides worked towards badges in the Guide Programme under the themes of Be Well and Take Action, Scamwise and UK Parliament Week.
During the COVID situation, we took an extended break, but resumed Guiding virtually with adapted activities and games over Zoom to keep the girls connected during "lockdown".
There was no harm flowing from the Charities purpose and there was no private benefit.
