Schools can win eco cash
Schools are being invited to enter a competition to win a share of 18,000

As part of the Co-operative Green Schools Revolution programme, the fund is available to help schools realise their green ambitions, which could be anything from creating a new school garden, to generating their own renewable energy.

To be in with a chance of scooping the cash, schools will be showcasing what they have done to bring The Co-operative's Green Schools Revolution to life to help improve sustainability in their school, along with plans on how they will use the prize money to make their school greener.

Schools are invited to showcase their Green Schools Revolution through films, stories and photographs, and the 18,000 prize fund will be divided between primary and secondary schools.

Six primary schools and six secondary schools will receive 1,000 in the regional finals, and one primary school and one secondary school will receive 3,000 each in the overall national final.
