St Nicks, Rawdon Avenue in York, has secured funding for a green mentor to work with young people. A NATURE reserve has received a cash boost to help encourage young people in York to become green influencers . St Nicks Centre for Nature and Green Living will receive £18,000 annually for the next two years from the Ernest Cook Trust educational charity to support the employment of a green mentor. The new post will enable children, aged 10 to 14, across the city to follow in Greta Thunberg’s footsteps and get involved in community social action projects. Freya Lovett, who will take on the green mentor role, will work with young people on projects to protect and enhance the local environment and tackle climate change.
