Littlehampton Brownies’ evening antics helps children less fortunate
Members of the 1st Littlehampton Brownies took part in a sleep-over to help promote children’s charity UNICEF, on Saturday (June 30).
Seventeen Brownies, alongside a Guide and Young Leader from the area, snuggled into their sleeping bags at the Littlehampton Girlguiding Centre, in Duke Street, as part of the organisation’s international giant sleep-over evening.

Girls in Littlehampton tucked into a midnight feast and even had their own movie screening before the lights went out.
Julie Sampson, assistant guider for 1st Littlehampton Brownies, said: “The children had a great time. I was not convinced we would be having much sleep but all the activity, fun and excitement wore them out. We are thrilled to have been part of The Giant Sleep-over.”
The girls donated about £100 to take part in the evening.
All the proceeds will be going directly to UNICEF to be used to buy insecticide-treated mosquito nets for impoverished families overseas.
