Could you make a difference to the lives of girls in your community by empowering them and giving them new experiences? Could you be a role model and help girls to realise their full potential? Would you like to share and develop valuable, transferable skills and spend time laughing, playing and being inspired by incredible girls and young women? If so, then have you thought about volunteering for Girlguiding?

Highland Charity Jive
in Culcabock & Drakies Community Hall, Grebe Avenue..
We have a weekly Beginners Class and Freestyle dancing. No partners are required as our experienced dancers love to help new dancers. It's easy to learn and we are a very friendly crowd. Cost is £5 per class and runs on Friday evenings from 7:30pm-10:30pm. All monies that we raise go to local Charities all chosen by our dancers.
We recently presented two cheques for £400 each to Riding for the Disabled (RDA) and Inverness Resettlement, part of the Salvation Army.
We are a small group of people who love to dance and while we are doing it help to raise money for good causes. Should you require further information regarding the classes, please contact us at
HighlandCharityJive@yahoo.com
Kind regards
