I have been in Girl Guides since I was a Rainbow aged 5 and I am raising my own funds for this amazing trip, which I was specially selected for after a two-day course.

What I can raise here will contribute to my £1,000 fundraising for a cultural and educational Girl Guides visit to Switzerland in 2018.

I will be meeting Guides from all across the UK on this trip and will do presentations about it to other groups when I get back.

I am also raising money through sponsored events, odd-jobs, and applying for any local youth grants that might be available.
