I am very honoured to have received my UK Parliament Week Girlguiding badge. Something I didn’t think I would ever achieve!
I would like to say a big thank you to 1st Ruspidge Brownies and 2nd Cinderford Guides for inviting me to talk to them during UK Parliament Week and giving me the chance to explain what life is like as the local Member of Parliament for the Forest of Dean. In turn, the girls also asked their own questions of me and raised some well researched and articulate points. It’s clear to see that we have more than a few budding future MPs among the girls.
The Guide/Brownie leadership team are doing a fantastic job and it was lovely to see how much enjoyment the children were getting from being part of the group.
