A group of Norton Brownies are hoping for more exciting opportunities ahead with the help of Gazette’s readers in this year’s Wish campaign.
Formed in the 1950s, the 2nd Norton Brownies comprise 24 girls, aged between seven and 10, who meet once a week to take part in a variety of fun activities, with an emphasis on the outdoor world. The girls, who meet at St Joseph’s church in Norton, also go on various trips away, giving them the opportunity for residential stays.
After entering the Wish campaign last year, the group used the money they received to subsidise the cost of a residential trip to York.
Danielle Cutler, who joined the unit as a seven-year-old more than 20 years ago and is still part of the group today, said: “We intend to use the funding to replace equipment and give the girls many more exciting opportunities to take part in things they may never get the chance to do.”
Every year, The Gazette’s Wish campaign gives away thousands of pounds to not-for-profit groups organisations benefiting the Teesside community. Each registered group will be guaranteed a share of our £40,000 fund.
The more tokens a group collects, the bigger its share of the prize pot.
Tokens are now appearing daily in The Gazette. The last token will appear on January 21.
Submissions for tokens will close at 5pm on Monday, February 23.
To help the 2nd Norton Brownies, send your tokens to: 27 Pulford Road, Norton, Stockton on Tees, Teesside, TS20 1QY.
