Following on from their donation of over £6oo last Autumn, Girlguiding IW members have once again been fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support, the group’s chosen charity.
Back in the Autumn Rainbows, Brownies and Guides from Newport, Carisbrooke and East Cowes arranged coffee mornings and coffee evenings. Now, members from the Guides’ Compton Section have donated a further £211.50 to the charity.
This new donation was the result of a sponsored singathon when all the girls and their leaders took on the challenge of singing 100 songs. Undertaken at a weekend sleepover and campfire, the 100 songs both new and old were easily completed.
Members of the Compton Section recently presented the money raised to Christine Lloyd from Macmillan Isle of Wight.
Christine said:
“It is wonderful that the Guides are helping this charity and all the money raised would remain on the Island.”
Christine presented the Guides with a special ‘Thank-You’ card to recognise their effort.
