BROWNIE Young Leader Sarah Garnham has helped to raise £1,107 for the Royal Life Saving Society by organising a sponsored walk in Tilbury.

Eighty Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Senior Section members and leaders walked from Coalhouse Fort to Tilbury Fort.

Sarah, 16, took on the walk because she felt it important the girls knew of open water dangers.

Bev Garnham, leader of the 4th Chadwell St Mary Brownies, said of Sarah, a qualified lifeguard: “We are very proud of her.”
