WILDLIFE campaigners have been given a helping hand in their bid to clean up Bolton’s green spaces.

The George Cox Foundation, a charity established by the Farnworth-based civil engineering firm in 2013, has bought £250 worth of new tools for the Bolton North East Wildlife Trail (NEWT).

Ann-Marie O’Connor, office manager at the foundation, said: “Being a wildlife and conservation fan myself, I was more than happy to put their request to our committee. We wish NEWT good luck with their future projects.”
