Girl Guides and Brownies across Cleveland have already raised more than £10,000 to help fix a “severe damp problem” that has left their residential home “uninhabitable”.

Egton House, in the North Yorkshire Moors, has been used by thousands of Brownies and Girl Guides over the decades as a residential home.

Due to a large amount of damp however, this popular residential home is in need of a new kitchen, new plastering in the downstairs rooms and new furniture in each room in order to be habitable.
