New Badgers Sett-ling in

Upminster and Hornchurch Badgers

Youngsters in Upminster and Hornchurch have been enjoying life at their newly-founded Badger Sett after a successful first month.

Learning new skills in a fun environment

After opening just one month ago, the Sett already has 12 Members, all aged between five and ten years old.

The Sett, which meets on Monday nights at Langton Hall in Hornchurch, opened its doors for the first time on February 28 and gives children the chance to learn life skills in a fun and lively environment. Their lifesaving skills will help them to be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.

The Havering Borough of London District, which includes the Upminster and Hornchurch Division, already has established Adult, Cadet and Badger Units, but the decision to start a fourth Badger Sett to welcome younger Members was made last year.

Grateful to everyone for their hard work

Havering Borough Officer Chris Beales said: 'The new Badger Sett has been a great success already, and we are extremely grateful to everyone for their hard work setting it up.

'We run all kinds of activities, from first aid practice to crafts, so there is always lots of fun for our youngest Members to enjoy.'
