The Friends of the World Centres have been running for 30 years and in that time have raised over £100k to support the work of the WAGGGS centres in Mexico, India, Switzerland, Africa and UK.

The work of the centres promotes community work locally along with opportunities for women (and girls) to travel overseas and develop their skills and self confidence.
