Lavington Guide HQ help with rising energy costs

Who are we?

Lavington Avenue Guide HQ Management Committee runs the Guide HQ for the benefit of our users; these are primarily the young people of our community who come every week to be part of Girlguiding.

Community impact

We are committed to providing a safe and inviting place for the young people and our Girlguiding volunteers. Without our building it would be so much more difficult to provide all the opportunities our volunteers do for young people from our community each week. Our building enables the volunteers for Girlguiding to offer opportunities for skills for the young members' future; opportunities for friendship and a safe place for their mental wellbeing.

Why are we crowdfunding?

Due to the use of the building we will begin to feel the impact of rising costs. We need to ensure that our young members and volunteers have a comfortable environment that is warm and inviting, in addition to the fact that we need to ensure that the building does not get damp. We are therefore concerned about the impact of the cost of living - we are funded by fees charged to our Girlguiding groups, which in turn are funded by subscriptions paid by the families of our young members.

We would appreciate any help with the cost of heating the building so that we do not have to increase our fees to our families as the cost of fuel rises.

How we’ll spend the money raised

Money raised will be spent on ensuring we can keep on top of our heating and other bills. This will ensure that the building remains damp free, warm and comfortable for all those who use the building.
