BEAVERS at Copythorne on the edge of the New Forest are due to get creative after winning a grant of £750 to spend on craft and play equipment.

The cash for the Beavers - mini scouts aged from six to eight years old - came from Esso Fawley.

Group leader Julie Dobell said: "My husband works at Esso and the grant came as part of a scheme to recognise staff or their spouses who do voluntary work - like running a Beaver group.

"We are very grateful for the money and the boys will put it to good use."
