Dear members of Hertfordshire County, I am really pleased to have been given the opportunity to be Hertfordshire's next County Commissioner from September.  Sue and her team have been doing such an amazing job over the past five years and I am fortunate enough to be working alongside them currently to learn from their wealth of knowledge and experience. The County relies on a large team of people to keep it functioning so smoothly and thankfully many of the existing advisers and county roles will remain in post.  However I am looking for people who would like to work alongside me

Girlguiding launched the updated the ‘A Safe Space’ training in September 2017 to help create an environment where girls can be safe and have fun. All volunteers will need to do Level 1 and your role(s) determine which of the next 3 levels you will need to complete. By December 2020 everyone will need to have the correct level of training for their role. Many of you have already attended the trainings for Level 2 (and Level 1) provided by Girlguiding Hertfordshire last year, and in line with the Region plan, we are planning local Level 3 training this year. LEVEL 1 – AN INTRODUCTION: For all

We are delighted to announce that the Hertfordshire Guide Centre at Cottered has been successful in securing funding from the Tesco Bags of Help Scheme for a fabulous restoration of our pond. Tesco has teamed up with Groundwork on its Bags of Help initiative in hundreds of regions across England and Wales. The scheme will see three community groups and projects in each of these regions awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge. With our grant we plan to completely transform our pond, which is currently overgrown. The area will be cleared of brambles.
