How about the rights of: - @FoxiesFuture to information about why their bid to #SaveFoxlease was rejected - @WaddowHallTrust to info about their rejected bid to #SaveWaddow - @Girlguiding #volunteers who just want you to #TellUsWhy @GirlguidingCEO @Chief_Guide
Every young person should have a right to information that helps them live healthy, happy lives. We’re asking the government to listen to young people and deliver high quality, inclusive RHSE. Read our full statement on the RHSE consultation here: girlguiding.org.uk/about-us/…

Replying to @angelasaltcom
@angelasaltcom HOW are you for the girls, with the girls, by the girls when you are not listening to what the girls want?? There are members crying out to you, raising THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of pounds to #saveFoxlease and you don’t care! #TellUsWhy!!!

#Girlguiding #Volunteer Nicky said: "I would post by promise badge back to them in disgust - but I feel @Girlguiding would just sell it for the money." She doesn't feel like the org cares about its members. This starts with @GirlguidingCEO & @Chief_Guide's failure to #TellUsWhy.

I feel absolutely broken by the organisation that is supposedly empowering women and girls 😢 What’s the point anymore? How can I honestly stand in front of my Brownies and tell them they have a voice? @Girlguiding you have got this all so very VERY wrong 😔

Brooke, who was forced to leave #Guiding when @GirlguidingBGO was closed, feels strongly about the closure of #Foxlease. Volunteers find @Girlguiding's decision to turn down fully funded bids from @FoxiesFuture & @WaddowHallTrust unfathomable & unforgivable. Please #TellUsWhy.

Lynne, a Rainbow & Brownie Leader, is sticking in #Guiding for "the girls". Many leaders told us this: they're so disaffected by @Girlguiding's decision-making over the sale of #Foxlease and #Waddow, especially after the closure of @GirlguidingBGO. #TellUsWhy you rejected bids

Jo, an Assistant Guide Leader, is clearly losing confidence in @GirlguidingCEO, @Chief_Guide, and the @Girlguiding trustees over the decision not to sell to @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust Until they #TellUsWhy, it is hard to understand how this is "best outcome" for #Guiding

How has @Girlguiding taken a path resulting in #volunteers like Louisa feeling their "thoughts, opinions and hard work count for nothing" and feel like quitting? Reflect on the damage done, @GirlguidingCEO, and #TellUsWhy you've made these decisions. Convince Louisa she matters.

Bronia, a @Girlguiding Division Commissioner, said she was "appalled by the decision" not to sell the outdoor activity centres to @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust who made fully-funded, above asking price bids. #TellUsWhy They're important for "real adventure", @Chief_Guide

This #volunteer, like many others, told us they don't feel members' voices are heard. What's the point in @Girlguiding offering #SpeakingOut badges if HQ leads with a culture of not listening and not explaining? #TellUsWhy @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust bids were rejected.

Yet another #volunteer, this time an assistant Brownie leader, told us that they were questioning their commitment and linked @Girlguiding's handling of the outdoor activity centre sales to their #MentalHealth. @GirlguidingCEO has a duty of care to members. Step 1: #TellUsWhy

Decisions by @Girlguiding are also hurting local communities. A former guiding member local to #Foxlease and @LyndhurstPC points out the bid from @FoxiesFuture included a £1.73m government grant from @LUHC. #TellUsWhy Girlguiding would turn down this cash injection into Guiding?

The outdoor activity centres at #Foxlease and #WaddowHall have been in @Girlguiding for generations. What's the cost of missed opportunities for #FutureGirls in future generations, @TracyFoster268 & @SallyKettle? #TellUsWhy @FoxiesFuture and @WaddowHallTrust bids were rejected.
