December 2019 blogging memo

Welcome to the last blogging memo of 2019! If you don't get them on your email box and you'd like to, just let us know and we'll add you.

Thank you to everyone who has blogged for us this year. We've had some really inspiring stories shared, and it's been great to hear from so many different voices throughout the year. If you blogged for us this year, please consider doing so again in 2020! If you haven't blogged with us yet, why not make next year the first time you do?

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 know that everyone will have been taking part in fun festive activities, and we want to hear about them! Let us know about the Christmas crafts, winter trips, and fun and games you've been getting up to and we'll put a festive round-up together.

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?
