ONE of Hyndburn's main charities has won an award for their services to the community.

The PROSPECTS Foundation has won the Best Practice Award in the ‘General Environmental Project’ category for their work on Whinney Hill Woodland improvements.

The award from LEF (Lancashire Environmental Fund) was presented at the Annual Award Event held at Warton Village Hall near Carnforth.

The afternoon was spent with other winners celebrating partnership and successful projects and included a visit to RSPB Leighton Moss.

Roger Plum, who led the woodland improvement project said, “The judge was impressed with the community aspect of the project because the work was done by volunteers and the volunteers had benefitted from training courses as part of the project."
