Members of the 11th Newport Guides recently presented a cheque for £50 to Newport’s Mountbatten Hospice.
With one of their number, Arianwen Craig, selected to attend an international trip, the unit members decided to undertake fund-raising for her. However, the fund-raising events, especially a bingo night, proved very popular, and the guides chose to donate some of the money raised to the hospice.
Annabel Barber presented the cheque to hospice staff members, with other members of the unit and leader, Emma Bryson, attending.
The 11th Newport Guides and 1st Carisbrooke (Princess Beatrice Own) Guide Units will, once again, be supporting Mountbatten’s ‘Walk the Wight’ on Sunday, May 14, with some of the guides and their leaders not only undertaking the walk, but helping in other ways including presenting medals at the finish points.
