Crafty Brownies cash boost

Cardiff Brownies get creative thanks to a local insurer.

St Peters Brownie and Rainbow Guides received a donation from Cardiff insurer Admiral. The money comes from a fund set up by Admiral's chief executive, Henry Engelhardt, which provides financial support for staff involved with local organisations.

The Brownies and Rainbows meet every Monday at St Peters Community Hall on Bedford Street in Roath. The groups share their resources and used the money from Admiral to buy art materials to fund their craft sessions, which are held each week.

Jo Griffiths works as a training coach in Admirals Claims department. A former St Peters Brownie, Jo was one of the first leaders when St Peters Rainbows was established 12 years ago. She now helps out whenever needed, and her five year old daughter Ellie, has recently joined the Rainbows.

Jo said, "The money from Admiral was a welcome boost to our craft supplies. The girls really enjoy their weekly art sessions and they now have plenty of materials to play with."
