October 2019 blogging memo

Welcome to your latest blogging memo! If you don't get them on your email box and you'd like to, just let us know and we'll add you.

Know someone else who wants to receive this memo? Just let us know and we can add them to the list.

What do we need from you?

If you have an idea for a blog post, we want to hear it.

We're well into the new term by now and we want to know what you've been up to so far. With the new programme now in full use we want to hear from you about how you put your plans for the term in place and how your members help you decide which activities are best to take part in. Maybe you've taken part in some activities already - how did they go?

We also want to hear from you if you took part in Future Girl Acts week. This year the focus was on plastic pollution, and we'd love to hear how you approached this in your meetings.

We hope that before the summer you saw the first post in our new series looking at flexible volunteering. If you've got an example to share please do get in touch at digital@girlguidinglaser.org.uk. We really want to be able to shout about the great ways our units are run, and how there's opportunities for everyone to volunteer if they wish.

We always want to cover everything that guiding has to offer, so whatever you're doing or wherever you're going - we want to hear from you!

What have we been blogging about?
