Girlguiding is looking for volunteers and members

Northamptonshire's Girlguiding units are looking for more members and volunteers.

From Kettering to Corby, these guiding units are looking for more people to join up.

"It's an all female led organisation for girls," said Mandy Ludlow, County Commissioner for Girlguiding Northamptonshire and volunteer for 32nd St Matthews Girlguiding.

The unit that Mandy volunteers for is based in Abington in St Matthews Parish Centre.

Girlguiding is an organisation that aims to empower girls through friendship and adventure.

 In 32nd St Matthews Girlguiding unit, the girls have been able to go to multiple events including the Big Gig which is a yearly concert hosted in Wembley Arena just for the Girlguiding community.

Other events that these Guides have been to include going to Disneyland, their local panto at the Art Deco, and yearly Pizza Hut parties.

Mandy said: "If we don't have any more members, there will be no guiding.

"That's top of the bottom of it."

All units at 32nd St Matthews Girlguiding are currently accepting new girls.

Girlguiding consists of four units for girls of different ages.

Rainbows, four to seven years old, Brownies, seven to 10 years old, Guides, 10 to 14 years old, and Rangers, 14 to 18 years old.

People can volunteer from 14 years old.

"They just need to go on the website for Join Us.

"And then it'll take them to whether they want to volunteer a or if it's for a child," said Mandy.

The cost of joining and attending Guides varies based on the unit due to general fees including possible venue fees.
