Volunteering with Girlguiding

Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK. Girls get incredible benefits from being an active part of their community and having their own space. They learn skills, discover new interests, develop their confidence and have a lot of fun!

It’s the Girlguiding volunteers who make this possible for the girls in their local community. Leaders and helpers support girls by providing experiences and opportunities within the setting of

their local Rainbows, Brownies, Guides or Rangers units.

“I love Guides. I recently got to cook on a Blitz oven, make a video about a local campaign and had a Mocktail party! My leaders are really kind and helpful. They make everything fun and encourage me to have a go.” – Lydia, Guide
