Supporting girls aged 10 - 14 to learn new skills, make new friends and help others.
At a vital time in a girl's personal and social development, Guiding provides a unique girl-only space as well as a modern and relevant programme which helps girls and young women develop emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually so that they can make a positive contribution to society. At 1st Oxley Park Guides we do this by encouraging all members to plan and participate in a varied programme which includes lots of fun activities such as crafts, challenges, and adventurous activities.
Why the community needs usThe skills that Guides, Young Leaders, and adult volunteers develop by attending Guides contributes positively to the local community. Not only does the individual gain valuable interpersonal and life skills such as leadership, caring for others and self-determination but the wider community benefits from promoting responsible citizens of the future. Guides get involved in a number of worthwhile charitable events to support other organisations.
Our impact on the communityThe unit is self-financing and is run by a dedicated leadership team of volunteers. The Guides and Young Leaders are fully involved in deciding the programme of activities each term. Additional funding will enable us to subsidise future trips and support girls facing financial hardship.
