YOUNGSTERS at Bury's Springside CP School are looking forward to a greener future - in fact, they can bank on it!
The school is one of four in Bury to benefit from a grant from the local branch of the Yorkshire Bank.
The bank operates the grant schemes for small-scale environmental projects, and Springside received £110.
The school will use the money to buy shrubs to plant around a pond, and any money left over will be used to buy child-sized gardening tools for the pupils!
Miss Joanne Hughes, schools bank liaison officer at Yorkshire Bank, is pictured taking a look at the site of the school's environmental project. With her are pupils, from left, (front) Laura Schofield (8), Kirsty Hamer (9) and (back) Ibrahim Khan (9), Adam Lloyd (8), Kristen Lord (9) and Samantha Ingham (9).
