The benefits of volunteering
Carolyn Moore
Volunteer with 1st Connaught Rainbows in Bristol
'I’d definitely recommend volunteering. Every week, after a Rainbows meeting, I feel I have accomplished something great. We’ve got lots of exciting activities and games planned with the girls'
Zunera Ahmed
Volunteer in Bristol
'One of my friends volunteers for a Girlguiding group and recommended it. Volunteering is a good opportunity for me to gain new skills and come up with activities for the group.'
Viv Shakesaft
Leader with 9th Berwick Rainbows
'It’s great working with the girls and we’ve got lots of exciting activities lined up. I really enjoy being a Rainbow Leader because of the difference you make. The girls come into Rainbows shy and go on to Brownies confident.'
