Little Havens Children’s Hospice Fundraiser!
n Tuesday 10th February the 6th Hornchurch Brownie Pack held a Winter Fun
Night. The hall was decorated with sunflowers that the Brownies had made. There
was a Bring and Buy section, refreshments and cakes available and many games
stalls. The Brownies worked very hard planning the event.
We invited
many brownies
and guides from
the district and
were overwhelmed with the
support we
received.
The children all
had an enjoyable
night and the
adults were kept
very busy!
The event lasted from 6.00pm
until 8.00pm and
we were astonished to discover that we raised a total of £365.00 in such a short space of time.
The Brownies have been learning about hospices through the ‘Changing the World’ Help
the Hospices project. They were therefore very eager to donate to Little Havens Children’s
Hospice in Essex.

When Connie
met Cryst al
Sound of Music star Connie Fisher realised she had
really made top celebrity status when she met Crystal
recently.
Connie was at the Lakeside Shopping Centre
to help launch the latest Blue Peter Appeal,
Mission Nutrition, with Brownies from Units in
Grays West.
She was delighted to meet Crystal and the
Brownies, who were looking after a Bring
and Buy stall in the VIP area from where the
popular childrens’ programme was being
broadcast live.
