A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year
Last year we had 25 girls that took part in the unit activities.
We had lots of interest badges gained including Jobs, Charities, Languages, Baking and Archaeology.
We presented 29 Theme Awards including, Skills for my Future, Take Action, Be Well, Have Adventures and Know Myself.
We presented 5 Bronze Awards, 5 Silver Awards and 1 x Gold Awards.
The girls took part in lots of meeting activities including crafts, games, science, communication and environmental themed topics. They did a DIY night where they learned to use tools, a yoga night to learn about relaxation and mental health, the made their own supper at a PJ night, chopping all their own ingredients and learning about healthy eating, they took part in a sponsored silence to earn some funds for the unit and they did an activity to think about their own impact on the environment and how they could help reduce this.
There was no harm flowing from the Charities purposes and that there was no private benefit.
