A CHARITY which provides training opportunities for adults with learning difficulties has secured a £700 grant to boost its work.

The cash from North-Eastern and Cumbrian Co-Op's community dividend fund will allow Chopsticks, in Northallerton, to invest in new computer software. The group offers work and training skills to 28 adults in Hambleton and Richmondshire, as well as running a garden maintenance service for elderly and disabled people. Organisers said the software would be used to help with the charity's accounts.
