If you think you might like to volunteer in some way within Girlguiding Cambridgeshire West we would love to hear from you! No prior experience of Guiding is necessary – the most important attributes are reliability and a good sense of humour!
Most people are busy these days – most of our Guiders work as well as look after their family and run a home. We recognise that everyone’s time is precious – and this is one reason why we like to have a small team to run each Unit so that there can be flexibility around holidays, school meetings, etc. We are also willing to consider holding meetings at a time to suit you – perhaps straight after school, at the weekend, or even longer meetings fortnightly instead of shorter meetings once a week – we must be creative to enable Guiding to fit into everyday life. In Guiding we prove that if each person does a little, together we can achieve tremendous things.
There are various ways of volunteering help – of course our wish is to provide sufficient Units to enable all girls who want to join a Unit to be able to do so – so if you feel you might be able to become a Guider that would be wonderful. However it is also possible to assist with a Unit as a helper, or in some other way such as looking after the accounts, helping with occasional trips and events, sharing your hobbies with the girls, ordering uniform and badges for the Unit, etc. On a slightly wider scale you might be able to consider running a trading depot, taking notes of Guider’s meetings, checking the Units’ accounts, organising fundraising events, and so on – the list is endless!
