Helmsley Walled Garden urgently needs your help if its bid to win a Peoples Big Lottery grant of £50,000 is to be successful.
If they win, they can build new Sensory and School garden for locals who may have special needs and disabilities.

A draw will be made on November 24th but competition is stiff. There are 71 projects to be funded this year with a further 18 bonus awards for the runners up. Here are the regions pitching for their individual causes.
