Lizzie, Year 10, has been part of the Girlguiding youth steering group 'Amplify' for the last year. Amplify is a group of 30 young members from all across Girlguiding, who meet virtually once a month. They work with staff and volunteers, ranging across inclusion and diversity, strategy, Girlguiding council and chief guide team, to provide ideas and feedback.

As part of this group, Lizzie was invited to be one of the 400 young people viewing the King's Coronation from St Margaret’s Church next to Westminster Abbey.

We hear she had a great day - she spent the night at the Girlguiding HQ with an early breakfast at Lambeth Palace, then watched the coronation from the church and got to be one of the first to see the King and Queen as they came out of Westminster Abbey!
