213 - Guiding subs for girl - July 2025
One of our members asked if we could help a girl who attends a Sheffield Guiding Unit .
She joined because her parents wanted her to get involved with Guides to help develop her confidence and self esteem. Initially, because her parents are from a very low income family and receiving Universal Credit, paying the annual subs of £150 was not possible for them and they were grateful to the Guide leader's discretion in waiving the fees for a trial period.
The girl is really enjoying being part of the unit and would love to be able to continue with Girl Guiding - her confidence has grown and she has new friends.
Our member asked if we could help and we have organised to pay £300 to cover subs for the remaining 2 years the girl can attend guides. She is so committed to the group and it makes a big difference to give her the security that her place is safe and her family do not have to worry about finding the money for her to continue doing something she loves.
We are pleased to be able to support this young person - we know she will really make the most of this opportunity and get a lot out of her guiding experiences.
Thank you for continuing to send us your nominations. They come in very different shapes and sizes and we feel honoured to be able to help however we can. We couldn’t do this without your kind contributions and thoughtful nominations. We always appreciate your support which allows these donations to be made and for our group to continue.
