Helping the local community and fundraising
The festive season saw our Explorers, helping customers pack their purchases at local supermarkets and sometimes, assisting elderly customers take the heavy purchases to their car.
They spread quite a bit of good cheer with their lovely smiles and enthusiasm - and the Christmas hats and antlers received positive comments! The supermarkets were happy to have them liven things up following the sober atmosphere over the last few years due to the pandemic.
Despite the exam period and other activities, our young people shared their time for the good cause with others doing longer hours to help out fellow Explorers. It was a great opportunity to help our community and fundraise for their journeys and other exciting programmes.
Many thanks to all and wishing everyone a joyous holiday season and a smashing 2023!
