Our fundraising from 2024 has reached over £4,450 bringing our all-time total up to almost £39,400 since 2009. This is our best year yet for the second year in a row!

This year our focus has turned to fundraising for our Disneyland Paris trip in 2026. We have 34 children and 12 adult volunteers signed up to take part. We have allocated funds to support our young members access this trip, but they're having to fundraise access existing funding as match funding.

In this last term alone, they have helped Santa doing his sleigh rounds, baked and sold cakes, volunteered to make the Dursley Fireworks happen, run a pub quiz night and supported the Slimbridge panto selling the refreshments.
We have allocated 2,775.90 towards their trip to match these fundraising efforts.

As always, the district would like to say a huge THANK YOU to you all for your continued support, whether you are an avid badge collector wanting something different for your collection or a leader looking for a resource for your unit. Or perhaps you donated badges to us during the year. Each and every one of you has made a difference to Girlguiding Dursley district.

​Our fundraising from 2023 has reached over £4,250 bringing our all-time total up to almost £35,000 since 2009. This is our best year yet!
This year we’ve been able to start spending some of the funds again after the covid pandemic put the damper on things. See the posts throughout the year for details.

Our profits from 2022 have reached over £3,200 bringing our all time profits up to £30,735 since 2009. This is our second best year for profits, topped only in 2016, and we’re grateful for all your support, especially through challenging times!

This year has been more of a normal one, and we’ve begun to make plans again to have amazing adventures together.

In January 2022 we started a new Archery Club in the District, inviting neighbouring Districts too, and making use of some old Scouting equipment. It’s become apparent though that it’s past it’s best and so some of your funding will go towards buying updated equipment in the new year.
​
We’ve also made the decision to subsidise our Brownie and Guide holidays taking place in February and April 2023 to the amount of £50 per girl, to ensure all our young members are able to have an adventure, despite the rising cost of living.

We can’t wait to report to you all next year how your funding is beginning to make a difference once more.
Our Facebook Page also went over 3,500 followers this year so a massive thanks to everyone spreading the word about the website and what we do.

Our profits from 2021 have reached over £2,060 bringing our all time profits up to £27,500 since 2009. It's been another very strange year in the pandemic, but your support has continued and we're very grateful!

After Easter we ventured back to face to face meetings indoors and despite a drop in numbers initially, the district is growing again. Some units have even managed a holiday or sleepover, all under strict regulations of course. As a District we had hoped to offer the District camp this summer but we decided to postpone this to 2022 as the covid landscape was still so uncertain. We can assure though, that all profits from our fundraising website will eventually go towards making Guiding amazing in the District. In the meantime our adventures remain small scale as we just enjoy being together for fun and friendship each week.

Our profits from 2020 have reached over £2,800 bringing our all time profits up to £25,400 since 2009. It's been a very strange year, spending three quarters of it in a pandemic, but that hasn’t stopped you all from supporting us by buying badges!

As with Guiding across the country, we were sad to have to stop our usual meetings in March but the majority of our District units have gone virtual and continue to offer Guiding to the girls in the area. However our usual adventures of camps, holidays and other such things have all had to stop so we have spent very little of our profits this year. The big camp we had been saving for, the WINGS 2020 international camp, was initially postponed to 2021 and sadly, just this last month was announced as cancelled. As a District we are now making plans for a District camp for all sections just as soon as the current situation allows and profits from the website will be used to subsidise this and ensure every girl can enjoy the great outdoors and have an adventure.
