First Burntisland Rainbows need you! Can you help save the group?
As a couple of leaders come close to retiring at the end of this year the group is in need of female leaders over the age of 18 in order to keep running. If no new leaders come forward the unit will be forced to close after Christmas.
If you can spare a few hours on a Monday evening to help girls aged 4-7 with a range of fun activities, get in touch via [email protected].
No previous experience is required, and full training and support will be given.
The group meets at Burntisland Parish Church Hall, and you can find out more at https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/get-involved/become-a-volunteer/
