TWELVE Warrington youngsters are travelling to The Gambia to help local children get an education.

G12, as the group are known, are making the trip as part of their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.

They will be staying in the African country to help finish building a school wall, paint classrooms and distribute learning equipment that they're sending over.

The group need to raise £2,000 each and are holding lots of fundraising events leading up to the event.
