Every young person should have a right to information that helps them live healthy, happy lives. We’re asking the government to listen to young people and deliver high quality, inclusive RHSE. Read our full statement on the RHSE consultation here: https://t.co/YcrK2M65Nk

"@FoxiesFuture raised £4m to #SaveFoxlease in Lyndhurst, Hampshire, after @Girlguiding confirmed in 2023 it planed to sell the activity centre."

#TellUsWhy you rejected their fully-funded bid, @GirlguidingCEO.

What's the value of #volunteers, @tracyfoster268?
What's the value of #experiences, @sallykettle?

"We have developed a sound five-year business plan and fundraised an almost unbelievable amount in a short time to put ourselves in a position where @Girlguiding could legitimately choose us, whilst complying with its obligations."

#TellUsWhy you didn't

@angelasaltcom HOW are you for the girls, with the girls, by the girls when you are not listening to what the girls want?? There are members crying out to you, raising THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of pounds to #saveFoxlease and you don’t care!
#TellUsWhy!!!

[Save our Girlguiding Activity centres @SaveourTACs]

@JonnyWaterfield @Girlguiding The first thing in her in-tray is likely to be #Guiding-related: the unfathomable decision by @Girlguiding not to sell #WaddowHall, an outdoor activity centre on her patch, to @WaddowHallTrust.

Set up by guiders, it made a fully-funded bid above asking price. #TellUsWhy

[Save our Girlguiding Activity centres @SaveourTACs]

@AnnZZStuart @Girlguiding Foxie's Future and Waddow Hall Trust have received no feedback about why their bids were unsuccessful, and were given no opportunity to negotiate or to improve their bids further. #TellUsWhy, @Girlguiding.

[Save our Girlguiding Activity centres @SaveourTACs]

#TellUsWhy #SaveWaddow #SaveFoxlease @Girlguiding

[Save our Girlguiding Activity centres @SaveourTACs]

@Girlguiding We will also be working with MPs, asking them to encourage @Girlguiding to #TellUsWhy it has rejected fully-funded, above asking price offers from @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust to #SaveFoxlease and #SaveWaddow & keep them close to the #Guiding community.

#Girlguiding #Volunteer Nicky said: "I would post by promise badge back to them in disgust - but I feel @Girlguiding would just sell it for the money."

She doesn't feel like the org cares about its members. This starts with @GirlguidingCEO & @Chief_Guide's failure to #TellUsWhy.

[Lizzie @bagpuss34]

@SaveourTACs @waddowhalltrust @Girlguiding I feel absolutely broken by the organisation that is supposedly empowering women and girls 😢
What’s the point anymore? How can I honestly stand in front of my Brownies and tell them they have a voice?
@Girlguiding you have got this all so very VERY wrong 😔

[Save our Girlguiding Activity centres @SaveourTACs]

Brooke, who was forced to leave #Guiding when @GirlguidingBGO was closed, feels strongly about the closure of #Foxlease.

Volunteers find @Girlguiding's decision to turn down fully funded bids from @FoxiesFuture & @WaddowHallTrust unfathomable & unforgivable.

Please #TellUsWhy.

[Save our Girlguiding Activity centres @SaveourTACs]

Lynne, a Rainbow & Brownie Leader, is sticking in #Guiding for "the girls".

Many leaders told us this: they're so disaffected by @Girlguiding's decision-making over the sale of #Foxlease and #Waddow, especially after the closure of @GirlguidingBGO.

#TellUsWhy you rejected bids

[Save our Girlguiding Activity centres @SaveourTACs]

Jo, an Assistant Guide Leader, is clearly losing confidence in @GirlguidingCEO, @Chief_Guide, and the @Girlguiding trustees over the decision not to sell to @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust

Until they #TellUsWhy, it is hard to understand how this is "best outcome" for #Guiding

[Save our Girlguiding Activity centres @SaveourTACs]

How has @Girlguiding taken a path resulting in #volunteers like Louisa feeling their "thoughts, opinions and hard work count for nothing" and feel like quitting?

Reflect on the damage done, @GirlguidingCEO, and #TellUsWhy you've made these decisions. Convince Louisa she matters.

[Save our Girlguiding Activity centres @SaveourTACs]

Bronia, a @Girlguiding Division Commissioner, said she was "appalled by the decision" not to sell the outdoor activity centres to @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust who made fully-funded, above asking price bids. #TellUsWhy

They're important for "real adventure", @Chief_Guide
