THREE Hampshire residents have scooped financial grants to support their plans to do project work abroad.

Vickie Spencer, a Venture Scout from Fareham, is visiting Uganda, Heather Badcock, from Burley in the New Forest, is taking part in a conservation project in Costa Rica, and Tina Gardner, from Chandler's Ford, has a place on an environmental and community project in Chile.

They received £150 each from Hampshire County Council.
