Thank you for all your continued support – we recognise this is a difficult and unsettling time for you, your families and our communities.

You will have seen the UK Government has today announced new measures around Coronavirus (COVID-19) and has advised against all non-essential travel and social contact.

We have taken the decision therefore, to suspend Girlguiding unit meetings with immediate effect. Please contact your girls’ parents to let them know your unit will not be meeting until further notice. We will also email parents tomorrow and provide updates on social media to support you in your own communications.

We realise that this news is upsetting, please do support friends and girls within the Girlguiding community at this time, and those beyond our network. Although we are not meeting face to face, we will remain connected with our amazing community of volunteers and girls across the UK. We will be sharing our ideas as to how girls can continue to enjoy our brilliant programme of activities and badges from home and ways to stay in touch with their unit over the coming days.

Our website will be updated tomorrow and in the coming days to answer questions.

Best wishes

Girlguiding
