HODDLESDEN Millennium Green Trust is appealing for donations to help raise a further £2,000.

The trust needs to find £2,000 by the end of March to ensure the Countryside Commission will double the amount.

The trust AGM raised £170 and chairman Colin Queen said the money was vital: "This extra £4,000 will help secure the green once the initial work has been done and means we can continue to provide a quality environment."

The appeal has also been placed on the This Is Hoddlesden website.

To donate to the trust or for further information about its work contact Colin Queen on 01254 703431 or Bert Clarke on 01254 704441.
