Being a young leader is an excellent opportunity to make a difference to so many. Enhancing leadership skills, becoming a role model for younger girls, gain skills and have fun. It also provides other opportunities such as becoming a peer educator, completing the Queen’s Guide award and the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme to name a few.

You can pop in at any time between 11.00am and 5.00pm for a chat about the role, training, opportunities and the help/support that is available, plus anything else! Refreshments available all day.
