A GUIDE leader is appealing for people to volunteer to help out with running groups for youngsters in Swindon.
Barbara Dixon, the leader of Covingham Guides, says they need people to come forward and help with the running of the Rainbow group for girls aged five to seven, the Brownies, for ages seven-10 and the Guides, for girls aged between 10 and 14.
She said: "We're desperate. We're all doubling up at the moment people are helping with more than one group but it's quite difficult.
"We would like to see some younger people coming forward, especially with the Guides.
"They would like people in their twenties because they can relate to them better. I feel like their grandmother sometimes.
"You get a great deal out of it. It's brought me out of myself and I've done things I never thought I would do.
"I just really hope we get someone to support us. We would welcome anyone who wants to come along and see what we do."
Anyone interested should contact Barbara Dixon on 01793 533121.
