A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year
We have steadily increased number since shut down over covid, we now have 16 girls enrolled. We continue to offer a balanced and varied programme with direct benefit from the guiding programme being education of girls to help them develop emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually so that they may make a positive contribution to their community and the wider world and develop to their full potential.
This year we have sought to do this through our badge work programme and completely the units on ‘being well’ and ‘know yourself’ This came in many forms of craft, cookery, art, fitness, local history and trips to name a few. We also held party nights, carol services, swimming sessions and the most loved one an overnight sleepover with challenges, craft, games all on the theme ‘secret agents’
We also completed our ‘Ulster Scots’ badge, treating parent to an evening of Scottish cèilidh dances.
There was no harm flowing from the Charities purposed and there was no private benefit.

The increase in funds is primarily due to increase in membership and two education board grants falling in the same accounting period.
