Hello,
Thank you for registering your interest to volunteer with Girlguiding in *Area Name*.
My name is *Name* and I am the commissioner for *Area*.
I would love to get to know a little bit about you and what type of role you might be interested in. Would there be a good time for us to meet/me to call?
Our units cater for girls ranging from aged 4-7 in Rainbows, though Brownies aged 7-10, Guides aged 10-14, to Rangers aged 14-18.
No matter how much time you have to give, there’s an opportunity for you in Girlguiding. Whether you see yourself being an extra pair of hands, as a unit helper, becoming more involved as a unit leader, or in a supporting administrative role outside of unit meetings.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Best Wishes,
*Your name*
Commissioner
