“It was lovely to meet up with Zoe – a young lady who is committed to girl guiding and who is busy raising funds for her trip. 

“I am happy to support her and to hear about the trip that will enable her to gain confidence and resilience - all skills that will help in adult life. I am always happy to meet young people who are out there doing stuff and wanting to make a difference.”
