Exeter Guides chosen as Community Fund finalists

Exeter Division Guides have been selected as finalists in RGB Building Supplies’ Well Built Community Fund - and it is now down to a public vote to see if they are chosen to receive £1,000 worth of building materials.

The Guides are currently refurbishing their Headquarters, Trefoil Lodge, which is located on Buddle Lane.  As well as improving the kitchen and bathroom facilities, creating an outside soft play area and much more, Exeter Guides will also renovate three rooms for the local community to use for meetings, conferences and special occasions.

If Exeter Guides are successful they will use the £1,000 donation to help complete the renovations.  They are up against Stithians Scouts and 1st Chulmleigh Scouts.

Paul West, Branch Manager at RGB Exeter, commented: “Giving the public the opportunity to choose the recipient of our Well Built Community Fund is something that we launched last year and it has proven popular.  As the local branch to Exeter Guides we are encouraging people in the area to get involved and vote for them.”

Votes can be cast by visiting the Exeter RGB branch during opening hours and placing a chip in the relevant box, by visiting RGB’s Facebook page and commenting on the post at the top of the page or by emailing RGB@pmwcom.co.uk and putting the name of the group being voted for in the subject line.

The poll will take place between Monday 16th and Sunday 29th January. Votes cast outside these dates will not be counted. Only one vote per person via each method of voting will be counted.

The winner of the £1,000 worth of building materials will be the group that receives the most votes.
