Derbyshire Wildlife Trust has secured funding for a pioneering ‘green influencers’ scheme which will encourage young people to lead social action projects in their communities.

The charity is one of 36 host organisations nationwide selected for support from the Ernest Cook Trust.

It will receive £36,000 over the next two years to employ Diane Gould as a green mentor who can inspire people aged ten to 14 to take on projects which will enhance the local environment and tackle climate change.
