Martha is a member of 1st Andover Girls' Brigade, and was recently recognised at an award ceremony in London for her Christian leadership and inspiring telling of her journey of faith.

Girls’ Brigade England and Wales are excited to be working with the Methodist Church on expanding and introducing new groups, for girls aged 4-17, into areas with a high military family presence. This project seeks to build friendships, strengthen community, and explore the spiritual side of life for girls in military families. By offering tried and tested faith-based support to children in military families, Girls’ Brigade can help them to develop their confidence and resilience, something we know is a challenge in today’s world.

On 27 October, Girls’ Brigade members and volunteers were invited to an awards ceremony recognising their outstanding contributions to their groups and communities over the past year.

Our Hope Publication gathers stories of hope to showcase the important work Girls' Brigade England and Wales has done this season nationally and in local communities.

The day was led by Katie Hurst (District Team Leader) and Hannah Morpeth (Team Leader), with fantastic support from Sam Cree (Leader at 1st Ryton) who brought her creativity and led some prayer spaces for leaders.

This year's Fundraising Challenge begun on 15 September, and will run until 15 October. 

Globally there’s an increasing focus on keeping people safe online and we’re seeing a corresponding focus on digital safeguarding.
