As spring blossoms, Barratt Homes have partnered with Angmering Brownies and Guides to embrace the season with colour and creativity by taking part in a special egg decoration competition. During their spring break, 29 members of Angmering Brownies and 21 members of Angmering Guides were invited by Barratt Homes to decorate small wooden eggs, transforming them into unique works of art. This initiative was designed to inspire creativity, celebrate the arrival of spring and provide a fun, hands-on activity for the Brownies and Guides.

The competition saw an array of inventive designs reflecting both the spirit of spring and the individuality of each Brownie and Guide. Entries will be judged by the Brownies and Guides leaders, who will select a winning design. The creator of the winning egg will receive a £20 book voucher in recognition of their creativity and effort.
Rachel Thornley, Angmering Brownies leader, commented: "We're always looking for ways to help our brownies and guides build confidence and express themselves, and this activity did exactly that. It was wonderful to see how each child approached the challenge differently, there was so much imagination and pride in their work. Activities like this really bring the group together."
Phil Hurring, Marketing Manager at Barratt Redrow Southern Counties, commented: "At Barratt Homes, supporting the communities we build in is incredibly important to us, and projects like this are a great way to connect to local families. The creativity shown by the Brownies and Guides has been fantastic, and we're proud to have played a small part in encouraging that as we celebrate the arrival of spring."
