LAKE District investors have helped save the endangered red squirrel by paying their pennies into a special bank account.

The Save our Squirrels project has been presented with a cheque for £10,999 by the Furness Building Society.

The cash was one per cent of the total balance of the building society's Red Squirrel Affinity Account.
