Our activity has included:
-
St Raphael's Hospice: Brownies, guides and leaders raised almost £600 for St Raphael’s Hospice singing Christmas carols at Raynes Park station during the commuter home-time rush hour. This brings the total raised for St Raphael’s over the years we have been supporting them to just under £8,500.
-
Heyswood Girlguiding Camp: 12th Brownies organised a morning of Easter activities, raising £235 for the refurbishment fund of the Heyswood Girlguiding Camp.

ClearVision: 25th Brownies raised over £300 by having cake sales throughout the year, and raffling Christmas hampers which the girls put together and decorated.
