Her mum has a long term health condition which can change quickly and sometimes needs an emergency ambulance. It requires Fern to give instructions to the operator and assist her mum with medications whilst keeping her brother calm.
She also cares for her mum on a day-to-day basis.
Fern, a member of 1st Bridgnorth Guides, was presented with her certificate by Sarah Myers. the Girlguiding Shropshire County Commissioner.
