Action Earth

There are still 50 grants worth £50 on offer to schools which take part in environmental volunteering projects in this year’s CVS Action Earth.

CVS, the largest UK volunteering charity, has linked up with the Nationwide Building Society to throws these monkeys (£50s) to the trees – last year more than 5,500 trees were planted, and litter was collected and river beds cleaned.

Remember volunteering is good for the soul, and if you miss this chance you can always submit a story to your local underground news network (that would be us here at the People’s Republic of South Devon).

This is the first year that Nationwide has supported the campaign run by CSV. The £50 grants are funded through Nationwide’s Statement Suppression Scheme – no, not the latest wheeze from the Home Office to erode your rights in the name of fighting terrorism, this funds charitable causes from the money saved by customers opting to download statements rather than have them delivered, who would have thought it.

To bag one of the remaining grants, schools can register by contacting CSV on 0121 328 7455 or online at Action Earth bit of the CVS site.
