YOUNG nature lovers have been given a helping hand to pursue their environmental interests.
A £500 award from the North Eastern and Cumbrian Co-op's community dividend fund will help to meet the cost of field trips and craft materials for members of Kibblesworth Nature Club, near Gateshead.
The group runs weekly educational activities for children aged between eight and 12 from Kibblesworth Environment Centre.
The Co-op's community dividend fund supports many community projects in the North-East, and encourages applications from environmental schemes.
Applications forms are available from Co-op food stores or by calling 0191-477 0291.
