Girl Guides in Lymington will benefit from a new minibus thanks to a financial boost from Hampshire County Council.
At his Decision Day (13 December 2012), Leader of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Ken Thornber, awarded funding of £5,000 to Girlguiding Lymington towards the replacement of their current bus.
Girlguiding Lymington provides young girls in the local area with support from volunteer leaders, enabling them to increase their self esteem, learn new skills, and gain new experiences and friendships.
Councillor Thornber, said: "Girlguiding Lymington supports over a hundred five to 18-year-old girls, and provides them with opportunities to take part in a variety of community based volunteer projects. We are pleased to support their efforts within Hampshire and also help them to develop important skills as they prepare for adulthood."
