Save our Girlguiding Activity centres

"We tell our girls that they can do anything, and that they should use their voice, but @Girlguiding is #disempowering the incredible women who have raised multi-million pound sums and created credible business plans with unbelievable speed and skill." cypnow.co.uk/news/article/c…

Every young person should have a right to information that helps them live healthy, happy lives. We’re asking the government to listen to young people and deliver high quality, inclusive RHSE. Read our full statement on the RHSE consultation here: girlguiding.org.uk/about-us/press…

How about the rights of: - @FoxiesFuture to information about why their bid to #SaveFoxlease was rejected - @WaddowHallTrust to info about their rejected bid to #SaveWaddow - @Girlguiding #volunteers who just want you to #TellUsWhy @GirlguidingCEO @Chief_Guide

"@FoxiesFuture raised £4m to #SaveFoxlease in Lyndhurst, Hampshire, after @Girlguiding confirmed in 2023 it planed to sell the activity centre." #TellUsWhy you rejected their fully-funded bid, @GirlguidingCEO. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

"We are working hard and with care to ensure we achieve the best value and outcomes for @GirlguidingMembers across the UK." - @GuidingMembers What's the value of #volunteers, @tracyfoster268? What's the value of #experiences, @sallykettle? #TellUsWhy advertiserandtimes.co.uk/news/difficult…

"We have developed a sound five-year business plan and fundraised an almost unbelievable amount in a short time to put ourselves in a position where @Girlguiding could legitimately choose us, whilst complying with its obligations." #TellUsWhy you didn't dailyecho.co.uk/news/24425377.…

"We're shocked & greatly saddened by this, as we have always acted with dignity & professionalism, working hard to put the estate in the best possible deal in order to make it a huge community-owned success for everyone." #TellUsWhy @Girlguiding lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/24395637.…

@angelasaltcom HOW are you for the girls, with the girls, by the girls when you are not listening to what the girls want?? There are members crying out to you, raising THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of pounds to #saveFoxlease and you don’t care! #TellUsWhy!!!

@JonnyWaterfield @Girlguiding The first thing in her in-tray is likely to be #Guiding-related: the unfathomable decision by @Girlguiding not to sell #WaddowHall, an outdoor activity centre on her patch, to @WaddowHallTrust. Set up by guiders, it made a fully-funded bid above asking price. #TellUsWhy

Former @Girlguiding trustee Maya Ellis elected in Ribble Valley. Big future ahead for her, she'll be a great MP!

@AnnZZStuart @Girlguiding Foxie's Future and Waddow Hall Trust have received no feedback about why their bids were unsuccessful, and were given no opportunity to negotiate or to improve their bids further. #TellUsWhy, @Girlguiding.

@Girlguiding Did the decision makers give any clue as to why those who offered bids for Foxlease and Waddow hall weren’t given a reason for the ‘no’ to their bids to purchase?

Advocates Hilary, Millie and Grace went along to #BackYouth 'Youth Power Hour' on Monday to take part in a discussion all about youth participation in politics with @Ommasalma @campbellclaret @kwajotweneboa !

#TellUsWhy #SaveWaddow #SaveFoxlease @Girlguiding

@Girlguiding We will also be working with MPs, asking them to encourage @Girlguiding to #TellUsWhy it has rejected fully-funded, above asking price offers from @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust to #SaveFoxlease and #SaveWaddow & keep them close to the #Guiding community.

We're looking forward to working with all MPs, and the new government, over the next Parliament. Congratulations on your election!

#Girlguiding #Volunteer Nicky said: "I would post by promise badge back to them in disgust - but I feel @Girlguiding would just sell it for the money." She doesn't feel like the org cares about its members. This starts with @GirlguidingCEO & @Chief_Guide's failure to #TellUsWhy.

@SaveourTACs @waddowhalltrust @Girlguiding I feel absolutely broken by the organisation that is supposedly empowering women and girls 😢 What’s the point anymore? How can I honestly stand in front of my Brownies and tell them they have a voice? @Girlguiding you have got this all so very VERY wrong 😔

Brooke, who was forced to leave #Guiding when @GirlguidingBGO was closed, feels strongly about the closure of #Foxlease. Volunteers find @Girlguiding's decision to turn down fully funded bids from @FoxiesFuture & @WaddowHallTrust unfathomable & unforgivable. Please #TellUsWhy.

Lynne, a Rainbow & Brownie Leader, is sticking in #Guiding for "the girls". Many leaders told us this: they're so disaffected by @Girlguiding's decision-making over the sale of #Foxlease and #Waddow, especially after the closure of @GirlguidingBGO. #TellUsWhy you rejected bids

Jo, an Assistant Guide Leader, is clearly losing confidence in @GirlguidingCEO, @Chief_Guide, and the @Girlguiding trustees over the decision not to sell to @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust Until they #TellUsWhy, it is hard to understand how this is "best outcome" for #Guiding

How has @Girlguiding taken a path resulting in #volunteers like Louisa feeling their "thoughts, opinions and hard work count for nothing" and feel like quitting? Reflect on the damage done, @GirlguidingCEO, and #TellUsWhy you've made these decisions. Convince Louisa she matters.

Bronia, a @Girlguiding Division Commissioner, said she was "appalled by the decision" not to sell the outdoor activity centres to @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust who made fully-funded, above asking price bids. #TellUsWhy They're important for "real adventure", @Chief_Guide
