AS ONE of the charities chosen for the latest round of Co-op Community Funding, 1st Holsworthy Beavers were invited to the store on Saturday, February 2, to promote the scheme and raise further funds for the group.

A homemade cake sale was run in the store throughout the day, and Beavers came along to help, doing at least one hour shift each. 

A total of £242.32 was raised through cake sales and generous donations from Co-op customers. 

1st Holsworthy Scout Group are currently negotiating the purchase of their own field for their outdoor activities, and the money raised by the Beavers will go towards outdoor games and equipment for use on the field.
