The Ribble Valley activity centre is to be sold off by Girl Guiding despite a passionate campaign against the decision
Waddow Hall near Clitheroe has been the home for Girl Guides in the north for almost a century. But the organisation has confirmed it will shut at the end of the year along with four other UK centres, ignoring impassioned pleas by young users. A campaign against the plans revealed in June was launched and it included a petition signed by thousands.
Luke Gaskill from Waddow Hall Trust says it has been set up with the "sole aim of raising funds to purchase Waddow Hall" with 120 schools already engaged in the initiative. A crowdfunder will launch in early September, with the cash used for the purchase and initial running costs. The Trust's campaign has the backing of volunteers, local MPs, councillors, the local community and Girl Guiding. Nicola Price Ribble Valley Girl Guiding Division Commissioner told LancsLive the move is "really positive" and a huge forward step in securing Waddow Hall for "future generations," as without the Trust it would have been "game over".
