Erin said: “Since our formation, we’ve covered a number of badges, agility, drawing, book lover, nature. At the minute I’m the only Rainbow leader with one parent helper.
“Rainbows gives girls a safe space to have fun, learn by doing, get their hands dirty, do sports and arts and crafts. Rainbows, Brownies and Guides meet at 6.30pm-7.45pm on Wednesdays. Girls aged 4-14 are welcome.”
