We Discover, We Grow

A little over a year ago I visited the recently rennovated museum in Peterborough. It struck me as the ideal place to showcase the work of Girlguiding in the area - my hometown - and 6 months ago I enquired about using the community gallery (also the all importnat cafe).

One of the works from the exhibition.

After lots of discussions, collections of photos from local Girlguiding members, and some reorganisation to tell some great stories - we now have an exhibition!

Named from the new(ish) strapline of Girlguiding, "We Discover, We Grow" tells some of the many stories of three adult volunteers within the organisation. Through their experiences it showcases the discovery, growth and inspiration of being a volunteer, as well as the many varied activities that give these same opportunities to girls and young women - thanks to the hard work of volunteers!

The exhibition will run from the 24th September until the 3rd November with free entry for all. We'll have a Saturday event with a free trail for girls to take part in around the musuem (date to be confirmed). You can find out more about Peterborough Museum and how to get there here.
