A Girlguiding volunteer is going the extra mile to help rebuild a flood-damaged Brownie House.

Cat Heron, 26, from Duntocher, is taking on the Manchester Marathon to raise funds for Catterburn, Girlguiding Dunbartonshire’s county campsite near Croftamie.

The Brownie House at the site was devastated by flooding in 2023, and plans are afoot to rebuild it as an outdoor activity centre.

Catterburn has long been a core part of Girlguiding Dunbartonshire, offering girls and young women the chance to "build confidence, learn new skills and enjoy outdoor adventures".

Cat, who volunteers with the 6th Clydebank Guides, said: "I'm really proud to be running the Manchester Marathon to support Catterburn.

"The Brownie House means so much to our members, and any donations – big or small – will make a real difference in helping us rebuild this special place and transform it into an activity centre."
