Fund Raising For Ukraine

Posted by Martin Wynn

A member of 16th Shrewsbury Brownies (aged 9) took it upon herself to organise a fundraiser for the families over in Ukraine.

With the help of her mum and the amazing community around her she was able to collect a lot of essential items such as nappies, sanitary products, toiletries etc… as well as organise a coffee and cake afternoon to help raise funds!

In total she raised a whopping £1,591 and took away 3 cars full of provisions!

We are all so proud of her and she wanted to thank everybody who came along, donated and supported this cause.

Shropshire Way Challenge

Posted by Martin Wynn

The Shropshire Way Challenge is for members of Girl Guiding Shropshire, between us, to walk the entire 200 miles of the newly way marked Shropshire Way between Thinking Day 2020 and Thinking Day 2021. You can do as much or little as you like, every step counts, and all participants can gain a badge for taking part. Some sections are easy, even wheelchair accessible, and others are much more challenging. If you don’t feel confident about taking girls out walking, then experienced leaders will be available to help. The challenge will include an I spy activity and geocaching may also be available in some sections.
