Some of our team members went to PZ Cussons in Manchester today (Cussons kindly donated soap and anti bac gel for the trip). We did a display about our trip and publicised Girlguiding to their employees. Jemma made a fab cake and it won a competition - it looks great!! Attention to detail - Rainbow red, Brownie yellow, Guide blue! Yum!!

And we’re here!!

There's just over 4 weeks to go now and it's going to fly by! Since our planning meeting in February we've been pulling together everything we need for our peer education sessions. We've got our session plans in our group area online so that team members can familiarise themselves with them. Mandy has a stack of laminating to do which will give us all the cards we need during our group work....

Lots of great planning work!
