Schools across Sutton are being given help to create orchards in their grounds.

Schools can bid for funding as part of an ongoing scheme to make the borough greener and teach youngsters about where fruit comes from.

Veolia has a national network of 1,085 trees and 780 strawberry plants now growing at 291 schools across the UK.

Since launching the scheme in 2022, the company has delivered 25 fruit trees and 20 strawberry plants to seven schools in Sutton.

Each orchard includes either five trees or ten strawberry plants per school.

Schools have until November the 8th to apply.
