BAKERY products manufacturer Victoria Foods Ltd has joined the Brownies.

The Leigh firm has linked with Girlguiding UK to produce easy to bake cake and biscuit mixes for the 7-10 year old girls.

Brownies for Brownies and Biscuits for Brownies will be available in most big supermarkets and for every product sold 10p will be donated to the organisation.

Money raised will go towards developing a programme of activities.

This is the first time that Girlguiding UK has embarked on a marketing partnership, seeking to build awareness of the organisation and raise cash.

Dan Ross, managing director of the Bright Street company, said: "It is a great opportunity for us to work closely with Girlguiding UK. We all wanted a product they would be pleased with and we look forward to developing our relationship further in the future."
