A GB member has donated 40cm of her hair to a charity supporting children with cancer – as well as raising more than £800 for the same cause.

Anne Stapleton, Team Leader of 2nd Plymouth GB group and District Team Leader of Plymouth District, has been awarded a British Empire Medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2020 for her work with GB.

It’s great to hear of GB groups resuming face-to-face activities and the difference it’s making for both girls and young women, as well as the leaders.

Our groups and GB members have been busy right through the summer engaging in various activities and programme resources produced by GB as well as their own tasks and challenges!

GB leader Hayley Flint from 4th Lincoln has spent the summer months making face masks, first for friends and family, then to help raise funds for GB and a mental health charity.

GB has just launched new hybrid resources for our community groups to use between September and October half-term – whether that’s face-to-face, at home with a parent/carer, or online e.g. on Zoom.

Once again it’s been fantastic to see so many young people connecting with their leaders and groups thriving online!

Girls and leaders at 1st Waterlooville marked the group’s 90th anniversary by joining together virtually to play an online escape room game.

We’re excited that we have a number of young women who are completing their Queen’s Award. However we realise that COVID-19 has made completing a number of the requirements more challenging.
