A summary of the Charivs maln actlvltles to further Its purposes for the publlc benefit and the
main achievements In the year
Advancement of education - the direct benefits which flow from the purpose of Girlguiding
Ulster are to promote the education of girls and young women to help them develop
emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually so they can make a positive contribution to their
community and the wider world and develop their full potential.
Girlguiding is a girl-led charity, taking its direction from the evolving needs of our young
members. We give girls a voice- in the Charity, in their communities and in the world. Young
people are actively involved in shaping their own programme of activities, both locally and
regionally within our youth participation framework. The benefit to girls and young women is
that they will have increased confidence, they will learn new life skills, will gain leadership skills
and learn how to work as a team.
The wider benefit to the community at large is enhanced social education and responsible
citizenship that flows from the purpose. These benefits are demonstrated through the feedback
provided by young people and the voluntary leaders in Girlguiding units, reviews by youth
council, statutory youth services, government departments and independent evaluations of
training, programmes and events.
There is no harm flowing from the purpose of Girlguiding Ulster.
The Charity's beneficiaries are girls.
