How Can I Help?

Girlguiding is run by volunteers ranging from Mums, Dads, and friends helping out through to regular Unit Helpers, Guiders, Secretaries, Treasurers and Commissioners, each putting in time which is valued by the girls.

To be a helper you don't need any special training, you just need to come and help out, and have fun. You might help out at one meeting per term for around 1 hour per week, or give more time if you can. The main thing is that Girlguiding is fun for both the girls and helpers.

If you find you are really enjoying taking part and want to take things further we offer help and training on all parts of our programme, enabling you to pass on your skills and knowledge to help the girls both now and in the future.

Guiders and helpers are respected members of the community and are appreciated not only by the girls and their parents, but in other walks of life including employers. Volunteering with Girlguiding shows a sense of responsibility, a sense of community spirit, a sense of commitment and an awareness of life, all valued attributes.

Girlguiding UK operates a "Safe from Harm" policy to safeguard all members while participating in guiding activities and all adults helping are required to abide by this. All those with unsupervised access to members will need to complete a volunteer registration process.
