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 25-30 girls in our unit. The girls took part in a variety of activities from the Girl Guiding programme, focusing on the topics of Be Well, Express Myself and Have Adventures.
The girls took part in a varied programme of activities including – Nature Badge work, themed crafts, a visit to the local RNLI station, a trip to the beach, an event joining with Rainbows from the district to celebrate Thinking Day, a ‘No Sleep Sleep Over’, which enabled them to experience the fun of a guiding residential without having to spend the night away from home.
The girls also experienced a variety of visitors to the unit including some relaxation and mindfulness sessions, model making, exercise sessions and animal encounters.
There was no harm flowing from the Charities purposes and that there was no private benefit.
