Hi
I am a volunteer with Girlguiding Manchester and am organising a training
day for volunteer Leaders across Manchester on Saturday 22nd March 2014 at
Levenshulme High School, Crossley Road, Levenshulme, Manchester, M19 1FS.
Between 12:15pm and 1:45pm we offer our leaders the opportunity to visit a
market place in which various activity providers take this fantastic marketing
opportunity to come along to promote the services they offer.
The stall holders provide our Leaders with information about the services
they offer and, if possible, provide activities for leaders to have a go at
whilst visiting their stall (activities aren't essential!) or offer discounts
and ideas to add to their unit's programme.
This year sees Girlguiding celebrate the Big Brownie Birthday (100 years
since Brownies began) and leaders will be looking for ways to celebrate this
special event - you may wish to bare this in mind when considering your
stall.
We have provided the market place for several years now which we have found
has been a great source for our leaders and feedback from previous stall holders
has been extremely positive with many being booked to take their activity out to
the girls in the units, or a visit to the provider has been arranged.
The target audience on the day is approx 200 volunteer leaders but if each
work with 10 girls in their unit (many have higher numbers) then your activity
could be reaching at least 2000 girls, and more leaders by word of mouth.
Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis
so if you are willing to come along on 22nd March please let me know as soon as
possible.
If you wish to take up this opportunity I will need to know the name and
contact details of the person who will be attending the event, how much room you
will need (i.e.: how many tables / chairs or if you will need room for a pull up
stand), whether you will need access to an electricity point etc - we can't
guarantee your requests but we will do our best to assist your needs.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any further queries
but we would be delighted if you are able to come along as we think the girls
would love your activity.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Sarah
