WAGGGS Ukraine emergency fund

Ensure that Ukrainian girls arriving in the UK can join Girlguiding - and that they’re given a warm welcome into the community.

We’ve received a grant from WAGGGS in response to the emergency crisis caused by war in Ukraine. The grant will help to leaders give girls and their families a warm welcome into the community by providing key Girlguiding documents in their home language. We’re also giving £100 grants to help support Ukrainian girls and volunteers.
