UK youth groups seek volunteers as parents try to prise children from screens More than 170,000 children are on waiting lists to join the Scouts and Girlguiding

Volunteering can be a brilliant way to boost your mental wellbeing. It’s a great feeling knowing you’re helping young people get skills for life, and you might even learn a lot about yourself along the way. ⛺
Scouts can make you feel good in other ways too. We’ll guide you to an opportunity where you’ll:

🌟Make friends and meet people
🌟Try new things and challenge yourself
🌟Get outdoors and get stuck in
🌟Positively impact your community
🌟Create vital opportunities for young people
🌟Make memories that'll last a lifetime

If you can only occasionally help, that’s OK. Whether you’d like to be an activity planner, tea-maker or craft creator, we appreciate any time you can spare. ⚜️

Adderbury Scouts would like to inform everyone that we are NOT involved with the Santa tractor run on Tuesday night. It has come to light that Banbury Round table have allocated another group outside of the village to collect, and therefore be the recipient of monies raised, without prior communication to us. Fortunately, one of the Group's trustees has found out this information after chasing for info and responses.
We can only apologise for this late call.

Adderbury Institute - Vacancy - Hall Manager - ensuring the building is maintained to a high standard of cleanliness (both internally and externally) and in an adequately equipped condition between each letting

Congratulations to Darren on his five-year service award.
