We're talking to BBC Sheffield about our #ActYourAge challenge for Girlguiding and BBC Children in Need today. So many wonderful things our members across the county are doing to raise money! Our Rainbows are baking, walking, cartwheelling, creating and lots more!

Our Unit Helper Chris is baking Pudsey biscuits (as many as her age - but that's a secret!) & skipping her age 10 times to raise money for BBC Children in Need. You can sponsor her here: justgiving.com/fundraising/54…

For BBC Children in Need Hannah has been baking butter biscuits to sell, as well as completing 6 handstands, 6 cartwheels and 6 seconds upside down! What a star!

Another of our Rainbows, Thea, has been making Christmas tags to raise money for BBC Children in Need. Aren't they superb! You can donate to the fundraising here: justgiving.com/fundraising/54…

Even more baking from our Rainbows- Hannah, Izzy and Isabella have been busy making these delicious treats to raise money for BBC Children in Need and Girlguiding by completing the #ActYourAge challenge. Well done, Rainbows! Donate here: justgiving.com/fundraising/54…

Wow- we've smashed our target- almost 3x over- & donations are still coming in! Thank you to everyone who supported us, & a HUGE thank you to all our girls and leaders who took part! And yes, you can still donate! justgiving.com/fundraising/54… BBC Children in Need GirlguidingSheffield Girlguiding

Please meet Vera. She'll be 90 next year & lives alone in a 1st floor flat. Vera has only ventured into the garden since March. She's enjoying her delivery of Pudsey Bear biscuits made by Chris for her #actyourage challenge for Children in Need.

Even more amazing crafty creations- Rebecca has made Pudsey Bear coasters to sell, raising £20, and Ophelia has made 6 cards to send to a local care home to cheer them up! What fantastic efforts, thank you girls!

Hear hear! Thank you to our lovely students Isha and Louise!

One of our Rainbows completed her Book Lover badge, creating a tree house from her favourite book series as part of her book review. She sent it to the author, and got a reply! Beth really recommends the 13th Story Treehouse series! GirlguidingSheffield Girlguiding North East Girlguiding

Congratulations to Ophelia for earning all 12 Rainbow interest badges! Rainbows only need to complete 6 of these- but Ophelia set herself the challenge of gaining all 12! We virtually presented her with a special certificate... and another badge!😄GirlguidingSheffield Girlguiding

Here's another of our Rainbows who has completed all the Interest Badges and has been awarded with a special certificate and badge. We're so proud of Hannah, who has worked really hard to earn all 12 badges! Well done! GirlguidingSheffield Girlguiding North East Girlguiding

Here's our robot, designed by our Rainbows for their Network skills builder. It can make you breakfast, bring it to you in bed, lift you over muddy puddles, keep you warm and light a fire to toast marshmallows. What an amazing robot- I think we'd all like one!

Eve has completed all 12 interest badges in only 11 months! Eve's mum said "Doing the badges gave Eve something positive to focus on. We really enjoyed watching Eve grow in confidence when many have been a bit lost in the pandemic." We're really proud of Eve! Girlguiding

The only thing missing are our Rainbows... Swallows and Amazons day is about to begin! Whiteley Woods OAC GirlguidingSheffield

Swallows and Amazons day was the “best day EVER!” according to our Rainbows! Trails to follow, codes written in pigpen cipher to crack, treasure to find, fire lighting to try, hot dogs to eat, and marshmallows to toast... all in the amazing Whiteley Woods OAC! GirlguidingSheffield

Eve, our youngest Rainbow to finish all 12 interest badges, wrote to #BluePeter to tell them of her achievement, and has now received her first Blue Peter badge! We're looking forward to seeing it at Rainbows next week! Lindsey Russell Girlguiding GirlguidingSheffield

We tried a new activity tonight - pendulum painting! Our Rainbows had great fun, and the results were really varied and beautiful. Definitely one to do outdoors though!
