Peer education topic training day

Girlguiding London and South East England welcomes our existing peer educators to train in Breaking Free, a resource helps young members identify and challenge stereotypes empowering them to enjoy their hobbies, gain skills they’re interested in and bust the restrictions that so-called ‘stereotypes’ could place on their lives.

Travel arrangements

Participants make their own way to the venue. Broadstone Warren is within 30 minutes’ drive of the M25. Direct trains to East Grinstead run from St Pancras International in a little over an hour and Clapham Junction in less than an hour. We can arrange lifts to the venue from the station, with advance notice.

Travel Expenses are not covered by Girlguiding London and South East England but we would encourage you to contact your county coordinator as your county may be able to support you. If the area in which you Guide is within an area of high deprivation, you may be able to apply for a Girlguiding London and South East England grant with approval from your commissioner.
