Featherstone Rainbows at Risk of Closure – Can You Help?

The current leaders have made the difficult decision to step down, and without at least two new volunteers in place before the summer holidays, the unit will be forced to close.

For many years, Featherstone Rainbows has provided a safe, fun, and welcoming space for local girls aged 4-7 to make new friends, learn new skills, and build confidence. From arts and crafts to outdoor adventures and badges, the unit offers young girls an incredible start in Girlguiding. Without new volunteers, these opportunities will be lost.

Becoming a Girlguiding leader is a rewarding experience. No prior experience is necessary—just enthusiasm and a willingness to support young people. Training and support are provided, and roles can be shared among multiple volunteers to fit around other commitments.

If you or someone you know could help keep Featherstone Rainbows running, please get in touch as soon as possible. To find out more, email Sam at [email protected] or visit www.girlguiding.org.uk/interested
