Mobiloo – a vehicle for changeMobiloo is the world’s first attended mobile toilet servicewith hoist and changing bench. Having a Mobiloo at a

venue or event means anyone can attend.

There are over a quarter of amillion people in the UK forwhom a standard accessibletoilet does not meet theirneeds. They either need a bitmore space or need to be ableto use an electronic hoist orchanging bench in order to goto the toilet.

The choice facing suchindividuals and their familiesor carers is to simply stay athome or to risk injury andinfection by getting changedon a public toilet floor. Havinga Mobiloo at events or venuesmeans people aren’t forced tomake this choice.

The Mobiloo at Carnival has been provided by Freddie &Friends Sunshine Stop C.I.C with thanks to Leighton-Linslade TownCouncil community grants.

With its roots back in down town Harlem, swing dance hit the UKduring WW2 with an explosion of jazz and swing that provided anemotional escape for young people. This created a culturalrevolution allowing them to abandon their worries and to immersethemselves in the magic of social dancing and music. Nearly 100years later, the swing dance fever is back uniting and connectingus on and off the dance floor. Click here to find out more.

Whatever your age, join our community, learn to dance, and stepforward in time and on to the dance floor to recreate and transformthis magic called Swing Dance!

Guides can attend events and trainings away with other Guides from across theCounty, and as they mature opportunities to travel abroad are available.

The Unit is very active, meeting once a week term times, we have regularcook-outs on wood fires, bivouac sleepovers and night hikes. We usually joinother Guide Units for a week end and a week’s Summer Camp each year, Lastyear we had a contingent attend ‘NORJAM’ The International Scout and GuideJamboree held on the Royal Norfolk Showground. We attend the localpantomime at the Library Theatre each January. We have a good relationshipwith local Rainbow, Brownie and other Guide Units, and meet up with themwhen we attend District, Division and County events.

A girl doesn’t have to have been a Rainbow or a Brownie to join Guides at theage of 10 years.

We aim to hold a fundraising Charity stall once a year on the Saturday LeightonBuzzard Market and have a stall at the May Day Fayre. Money raised helps usto upgrade our equipment, and also towards adding extra activities to ourprogrammes.

The Leaders and Guides thank the Carnival Committee for their donation, whichhas been greatly appreciated and used to buy resources for the Guides andLeaders to commence working on the latest ‘New Guide Programme’ TheLeaders hope to continue to provide opportunities for girls to join the Unit and‘Have Fun’ in the years to come.

We welcome girls who would like to join us to visit our Guide meetings whenthey are approx. a month under 10 years old.
