Discover our funded project and what we’ve achieved so far
The Uniformed Youth Fund is a £15.52 million government programme. It aims to support non-military Uniformed Youth Organisations to tackle their existing teenager waiting lists in England. Girlguiding have secured nearly £2 million of this Fund to help increase our capacity for Guides and Rangers. Read on to hear how we’ll be using our allocation of this funding to support units in your region between now and 31 March 2025.
The funding will allow Girlguiding to develop learning materials for young leaders. They’ve recently released new guidance for leaders working with young volunteers. There’ll be new webinars for leaders such as a session on managing waiting lists.
In Anglia, we’ll open and support at least 14 new Guide or Ranger units. We’ll also recruit and welcome 65 new volunteers and create 342 new spaces in existing Guide or Ranger units. At least 25% of the work that we do will be in areas of deprivation.
This month we’ve funded 2nd Kedington Rangers and I hope to share more about them in the future. Read this month’s blog to see our reflections on Girlguiding’s Girls Attitude Survey. We’re also talking about the exciting opportunities that we’ve spotted and want to make sure you’ve seen.
