This week is Learning Disability Week. We know that learning disabilities come in all forms and we want Girlguiding to be a place where all women and girls feel welcome, supported, and know that they can do anything.

Thank you @GirlguidingCE ,@Chief_Guide, @AngliaChiefTeam & former chief guide Amanda for a lovely surprise on Sunday at Hautbois. So humbled to be presented with the @Girlguiding Laurel award - everything in guiding is only possible with great teams! 🥰

Our unofficial county mascot, affectionately known as 'Mary Moo', now takes pride of place at our residential centre, @JarmanCentre in Newmarket. Mary was designed and decorated for the 'Cows about Cambridge' trail in 2021, before retiring to the green pastures of the JC!

Newmarket Rainbows, Brownies and Guides met Queen Camilla when she visited Newmarket last week. Leader Tina even got to shake the Queen's hand whilst she spoke to our young members. What an amazing opportunity and experience!

Coronation plates decorated by 3rd Newmarket Brownies to commemorate the King’s coronation.

An evening in the sunshine with Chatteris District Rainbows 🌈 as they completed their @Girlguiding Unit Meeting Activity 'Rainbow Survey'. The Rainbows counted cars, vans, walkers, runners and even the odd bird flying overhead!

1st Orwell Brownies enjoyed learning about hedgehogs with a visit from a volunteer with the @SWCCHedgehogs finding out what happens to the poorly hedgehogs that are brought in. The visit helped the Brownies complete the @girlguiding_anglia @rspb 'Feel good in nature' challenge.

Dani Wykes from Cottenham District recently received a County Brooch (The Lily) presented by Netta. Many congratulations to Dani, and thank you for your commitment as a volunteer with us in @Girlguiding !

We know that our young members look up to their leaders as role models. Our volunteers help all girls know they can do anything. You're Awesome, Pass It On! #VolunteerPassItOn tinyurl.com/4auskfmw

1st Soham Brownies visited the residents at Townsend Manor Care Home where they celebrated National Paper Airplane Day by making paper airplanes and having a flying competition. Leader Valerie told us "The Brownies so much enjoy visiting these lovely people!"
