AN exhibition featuring photographs taken during a charity worker's trip to Africa opens today.

Simon Tate, from Leyburn, works as a volunteer for Send a Cow.

The charity provides impoverished farmers in East Africa with livestock, support and training in sustainable organic farming techniques.

Photographs taken by Mr Tate during recent visits to projects in Uganda and Rwanda are on display at the Georgian Theatre Royal, in Richmond, until March 10.

The pictures will be sold to raise money for the charity.
