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 17 girls registered this year.
The girls worked hard and completed the Have Adventures/Camp Theme Award, 4 girls also completed their Bronze Award.
They enjoyed doing craft, games, cooking, scavenger hunt & picnic. We also attended the Remembrance Day Service & celebrated Thinking Day with our brownie, guide & ranger units. The girls who are moving up to brownies this September had a sleepover at the end of May where they completed various crafts, made buns, relaxed with face masks & finished the night watching a DVD. The girls enjoyed spending the night sleeping in a tent.
For our Christmas Good we again took part in supporting the ‘Lisburn Food Bank’ in providing items to give to those who are less fortunate than ourselves.
There was no harm flowing from the Charities purposes and there was no private benefit.
