For units who regularly help and support members with special needs
Within Girlguiding Anglia, we would like to recognise the Units which contain girls and young women who regularly help and support members with special needs in those Units each week during their meetings. Their support enables our members with special needs to experience the amazing opportunities offered within guiding and be included in Unit activities.
To nominate a Unit for the Girlguiding Anglia Buddy Award they need to meet the following criteria:
The nomination should be made by a District Commissioner and, where possible, supported in some way by the young member(s) with whom they work.
The award is a cloth badge for each member of the Unit and these will be presented along with the personalised certificate (provided by Region) at an appropriate occasion, to show the importance of the work carried out by the Unit.
Any leader may make an application by completing a nomination form. This must then be sent directly to Anglia
