Guide to great morning teas

Businesses nationwide are being asked to enjoy a Guide biscuit with their cuppa and help empower Kiwi girls.

In an effort to increase sales of their iconic biscuits, and reduce the fundraising burden on girls, parents and volunteers, GirlGuiding NZ is asking businesses to purchase special morning tea packs which include 49 packs of biscuits.

Profits from the $250 packs – which include 49 packs of original, Guide choc and mini chocolate biscuits and a limited edition supporter’s jar – will help GirlGuiding NZ implement a range of programmes.

One of these is ‘Free Being Me’, an innovative international campaign to equip girls aged seven-14 with the tools to effectively manage factors affecting body confidence and self-esteem.

Extensive research by GirlGuiding NZ is also underway to identify what matters most to the girls throughout the country, with wide-ranging questions relating to self-esteem and other topical issues. Driven through schools, a little more than 4000 girls have taken the survey so far with 29 per cent of girls surveyed saying they worry about how they look, and 22 per cent of girls concerned about bullying.

“At GirlGuiding everything we do is about empowering girls and young women and nurturing those most important life skills – confidence, self-esteem, leadership and resilience,” says GirlGuiding CEO Susan Coleman. 

“Of course nothing comes for free, which is why sales of our Guide Biscuits are so invaluable

“By signing up for a morning tea pack, businesses will be doing their bit to support girls of today who may be our leaders of tomorrow,” says Susan.
