Happy Friday everyone, this past Monday marked my first full month as Finance Manager at Girlguiding Anglia, and what an incredible first month it has been, from supporting the first Hautbois Fest to getting involved in updating processes and procedures, hiring new team members, but most importantly supporting the amazing work the 10k volunteers do with the 44k (plus) girls in our region. And to make it all even better, I’ve received my first guiding badge! Thank you Gill. I feel previledged to be in this position. Cheers to many more happy months & years! 🥂 🍻

Last month at Hautbois Fest, Ørsted visited us on site and gave girls the opportunity to learn about sustainable and renewable ♻️ sources of energy! We're grateful to the team who came to the event and engaged girls in conversations about how we can all work toward a greener future. The Orsted stand was a complete one-stop shop for all things to learn about wind farming in the UK and across Europe. We're grateful to the staff from Orsted who came and supported Hautbois Fest whilst educating girls and volunteers about what we can do to support the vision of a greener future. 🍃 We're constantly on the lookout for meaningful partnerships that invite conversations about equality, empowerment and sustainability. We're proud to have great partnerships and sponsorships come into fruition this year, including Swoperz, Bird & Blend Tea Co. B Corp and Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park. Are you or your organisation passionate about empowering the next generation of female leaders and change-makers? ✍️ Get in touch with us at commsteam@girlguiding-anglia.org.uk and help us show all girls that #GirlsCanDoAnything!

Yesterday marked the start of #SecondHandSeptember. This September we'd like to emphasise our ongoing partnership 🤝 with Swoperz and our joint effort to get girls and young women thinking sustainably about fashion and uniform. This month we're encouraging our young members and volunteers alike to embark on a no-buy adventure and instead take a look at what they and their friends and family have in their wardrobes. Mixing up your style is a great way to start making sustainable swops, perhaps host a swopping evening with family or start a unit uniform swop shop so you can take clothes and uniform on their next big adventure! 🚵 We know how important sustainability and its effect on our climate🌡️ and environment is to girls and young women, with up to 87% of girls and young women agreeing that we all have a responsibility to save energy and reduce waste to protect the environment. Our partnership with Swoperz has reinforced our efforts as a region to combat waste and spread awareness and education about small changes we can all make in our lives. We’re grateful to the amazing team at Swoperz including Charlene Hurlock and @VickyFuller for all their hard work and dedication to the #Swoperz message and creating a sustainable future for their daughters and our girls. We can’t wait to see the swops you make! Head over to our Instagram page to see sustainable outfit inspiration and tag us in your second-hand September outfit!

🎉 Hautbois Fest round up 🎉 You may have seen or heard that the first ever Hautbois Fest was held at Hautbois Activity Centre 2 weeks ago where girls camped from Friday to Monday... Since then we've had time to reflect on the event and the awesome girls and volunteers we met there after all the excitement. We'd like to congratulate the team at Hautbois on organising and pulling off such a fantastic event. It was amazing to see girls from across the region coming together to make new memories and friends. We're proud to have given girls a space to be themselves and even prouder to have heard from girls that they took the opportunity to #unplug, connect with nature🌼and engage in outdoor activities they may not have tried before. These were our highlights of the weekend: 🛍️ We had our partners Swoperz onsite with us, where they set up and operated the first physical swop shop since the start of our partnership! The sustainable swops included glittery festival gear, breathable athleisure and guiding uniform for the new year. We can't wait to have them with us at our next large scale takeover day at Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park in October! ⌛ Girls were able to visit the region office stand and try their hand at either of our 1 minute activities; cheerio challenge or polo stacking. We're impressed to say the record number of polos stacked was a sky-high 36! 📝 We were pleased to see so many girls getting involved in our Hautbois Fest poem competition. 5 lucky winners were selected out of almost 70 entries and girls received exclusive goody bags for participating! We can't wait for the next region-wide camp event and once again a huge shoutout to the incredible team over at Hautbois Activity Centre and the Anglia region shop for all their hard work, dedication and for helping all girls know that #GirlsCanDoAnything! 🌟 #Girlguiding #HautboisActivityCentre #Partnership #Camping

Each year Girlguiding asks over 2000 girls and young women across the UK how they feel about pressures they face today. 📉 One of the biggest concerns girls are facing is growing pressure on physical appearance with over half of the surveyed girls saying they wished they looked like they do with filters. Through the rise of social media platforms and the use of AI and editing software, girls have found their confidence levels at an all time low. We are keen to support girls leading a more unplugged lifestyle and call for more transparency in advertising. The full report will be published in October of this year but initial findings already indicate the gravity of appearance-based scrutiny. We've been proud to champion female empowerment and gender equality throughout the organisation and the Girls Attitudes Survey illustrates the areas of need so we can better understand how to provide continuous support for the girls and young women in our region.

It was absolutely amazing to have Swoperz with us at the very first Hautbois Fest! 🌟 Guided by Charlie and Vicky, girls got stuck into the magic of sustainable and stylish swops. Girls visited the stall throughout the weekend, browsing fun festival fashions and engaging in conversations about creating a greener sustainable future through swopping. We're grateful to the amazing team at Swoperz who have consistently championed circular fashion and sustainability education for children. 👚 We can't wait for the next chapter of our partnership to take off at Pleasurewood Hills in October! Want to join the swopping revolution and start #swopping?

🎉 What an unforgettable experience at Hautbois Fest with Girlguiding Anglia! We hosted "The Swoperz Swop Shop" and the energy, vibes, and incredible community spirit made this weekend one for the memory bank! “Vibe” was definitely the word of the weekend from the girls! 😎 It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this event, where over 600+ girls and their leaders experienced the Swoperz approach to preloved fashion. We saw the same magic in the eyes of these young girls that we saw in our daughter's eyes two years ago. ❤️ Giving these girls the freedom to choose clothes that truly express who they are is incredibly powerful ⚡️ Start-up life can feel like a rollercoaster, with its share of challenges, but moments like last weekend remind me why it's all worth it. Not to mention the LOL's with Vicky Fuller Swoperz is revolutionising preloved fashion for kids and shaking up how kids can shop online. I've never been more proud and confident that the Swoperz movement will thrive for generations to come! 🚀✨
