In October 2007 Girlguiding North West England assisted Girlguiding Trading Services with selling merchandise at the Big Gig in Manchester. As a result we received £12,000 being a share of the profit. Subsequently, the Executive Committee decided that the money should be used to support adults in achieving residential and outdoor qualifications that would ultimately benefit our youth members.

Units may apply for funding on behalf of a girl, young woman or a Leader with a disability. Districts, Divisions or Counties may also apply for funding for projects that make guiding more accessible.
