Do you want to have your say at Girlguiding UK? Advocate! are looking for Senior Section members to join our established Guiding Advocates panel.

We need members who

  • arent afraid to say what they think

  • are interested in issues that affect girls and young women today

  • want to meet like minded people

  • are willing to champion guiding in their local communities and beyond

The panel meets three times a year at Girlguiding UK CHQ in London and helps to shape our research, policy and public affairs work. In the last year our Advocates have attended political party conferences, appeared on TV and had talks from organisations including Oxfam and Childwise. They also worked on our Girls Attitudes survey and took part in the Centenary Guildhall event.

Its a great opportunity to get involved with the issues that are important to you and have your voice heard, both within guiding and across the nation, so what are you waiting for?
