A YOUTH group is preparing for a mammoth environmental day of action.

Members of Impact Youth at Bolton Pentecostal Church will help pensioners to clean up their gardens and go litter picking.

With the help of Bolton Council's People and Places Programme they have identified several sites.

Now 50 members will be rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck in.

The church hopes to raise much needed funds through sponsorship and is also approaching local businesses.

Anybody interested in this event, which is taking place on February 23, should contact Martin on Bolton 361704.
