1st Burghill Brownies spent a day bag packing at the Co-Op store in Bobblestock where the staff and customers are always extremely kind and very generous. The girls always chose a local charity to donate some of the money to , and the rest goes towards running the Brownie unit. This year they chose St Michaels Hospice as their charity. On 6th May Mr Paddy Nugent came to talk to the girls about life at St Michaels. He gave an enlightening talk and we learnt a lot about how the hospice runs, how it gets its' money, what goes on there every day and how so many people in the County support them. The girls had plenty of questions for him, including asking him how he got his job there, what was the largest sum of money raised, what was the most unusual fundraiser , how many people work there and many more.

The girls then ended the evening by presenting Paddy with a cheque for £200 .

Thank you St Michaels for all the amazing work you do and thank you Paddy for coming to tell us all about it.Also thanks go to the girls for working so hard to raise the money and the staff and customers at the Co-Op for their continued support.
