BRIGG GRANT AGREED TO HELP ATTENDANCES


Brigg Town Council agreed to make a grant to a local group during its latest meeting.
Brigg Trefoil Guild, a branch of the Girl Guiding movement, requested £100 towards the hire of the Scout Hall so it can meet there.
The Brigg members are all over 70 and some have mobility issues, so using the hall means they can continue to attend meetings.
The Trefoil Guild has 1,100 members nationwide, all over the age of 18, and works voluntarily to support the guiding movement. They help with badges for Brownies and Guides and support older Guides to attend events overseas.
Carl Carl Sherwood told the late July meeting in the Buttercross that the council should support the Guild with a grant in line with the request submitted.
Brigg Town Council has received many application for grants over the decades from a host of local groups.
