A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year
Unit consisted of 20 girls and 3 leaders.
Meetings back to pre-covid normality. Parent helper rota in place which was a great support. Three girls moved up to Guides, 2 achieved their Gold award. 9 Brownies took part in the Snores n S’mores summer jam in Lorne Estate in June and all 3 leaders attended. We attended the county day in Lorne too and took part in the Alternative Lorne walk, to raise funds for the unit. 17 of the girls attended the Annual Commonwealth parade in Portadown, the first since covid. We received a grant from the EA which enabled us to buy resources and take part in some of the activities mentioned. Gift aid was also claimed for the last 4 years.
There was no harm flowing from the Charities purposes and that there was no private benefit.
