About Girlguiding

Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK.

Thanks to the dedication and support of 100,000 amazing volunteers, we are active in every part of the UK, giving girls and young women a space where they can be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friendships, gain valuable life skills and make a positive difference to their lives and their communities. We build girls' confidence and raise their aspirations. We give them the chance to discover their full potential and encourage them to be a powerful force for good.

Join Girlguiding

But what is it that makes Girlguiding special? In a nutshell:

We are for all girls.

We're proud to be open to all girls, of all faith and none and even if you have a disability. We're there to support you.

We give girls their own space.

Girls can be themselves at Guides, safe in the knowledge that they are with other girls who understand and care. It's the thing most valued about us.

We give girls a voice.

We're never afraid to speak out. Our girls gain self confidence and the knowledge to make an informed decision. Each year Girlguiding HQ asks its members what they think on a variety of modern day issues. You can see what they said here.

We change as the lives of girls change.

We're constantly changing as the lives of girls change. Guide trips can now include fun new activities and twice a year you can find Guides from around the UK rocking out at Big Gig.

Volunteer with Girlguiding

Girlguiding can only happen thanks to the amazing work of over 100,000 volunteers right across the country, contributing more than 10 million hours between them. Everyone is welcome as a volunteer, regardless of ability, background, age, your faith or if you have none. Even a couple of hours here and there can help us.

No matter what you do, it can help us. So it could be driving us to holiday, helping with the accounts and admin or as a section leader, helping our girls and young women develop in a supportive environment. We offer support and training for the role you undertake, the opportunity to develop new skills and to meet new people. But most of all, you too can have fun!
