Girlguiding Sussex Central celebrates International Women’s Day by cheering on Brighton & Hove Albion

Guides from 1st Roffey, 1st Lower Beeding and 1st Partridge Green were excited to be selected to carry and wave the flags at the start of the match.

Although Brighton sadly lost, everyone agreed that they had played well & the girls were inspired by the team’s determination.

The event continues to encourage interest in the Sussex counties’ Football Challenge, which was produced with the encouragement and interest from those at Brighton & Hove Albion together with the other Girlguiding counties in Sussex. The Challenge is all about teamwork and fun, which is at the heart of Girlguiding.

Girlguiding helps all girls know they can do anything. Together we’ve challenged gender stereotypes and discrimination for over 110 years and what better way to demonstrate this by attending a women’s football match. .

Girlguiding is the UK’s largest youth organisation dedicated completely to girls

We’re more than 300,000 girls from 4 to 18 who come together to laugh, learn, explore and have adventures. We’re have more than 70,000 volunteers, and 25,000 local groups having fun and exploring activities week in, week out.

If you or someone you know, wants to give time to your community and would love to empower girls, build your own confidence and make new friends, then Girlguiding actively welcomes people like you. We’re an organisation that is easily accessible, rewarding and enjoyable!
