BURLEY Scout & Guide Group are jumping for joy as they have just found out they have been awarded £10,000 in the National Lottery Awards for All. This award is for the new Burley Scout & Guide Headquarters, which is currently being built. Sue Vint, Guide leader said: " We are absolutely thrilled at this award. The money will be used to fit out the kitchens in the new building."
It is hoped that the structure of the headquarters will be finished by Easter and then it will be fitted out. Sue added: "We would love to hear from anyone with time and talents to help us with the fitting out such as plastering and painting. If any skilled tradesmen could donate any materials we would love to hear from you too! Please contact me, Sue Vint sue@gvint.co.uk or any leader.
"The Group would like to thank everyone for their support so far. The community has been amazing and we are very grateful."
