GIRLS from the 1st Great Chesterford Brownies and Rainbows held a concert to raise money for charity.
Girl Guiding will be celebrating its 100th birthday later this year and to commemorate the occasion each group has been asked to partner a charity of their choice.
Tawny Owl for the Great Chesterford Brownies and Rainbows, Julie Lester, said: "We chose the Sing for Change project provided by Water Aid, as their work relates to helping Brownie-aged girls into education.
"This involved learning some songs they provided, we then performed them at a concert along with a drama highlighting the work of water aid. The girls also won their entertainers badges by doing solos or duets, reciting poems, saying a prayer and acting as compare.
