Kids can have say on climate change

Oct 20, 2021

Good afternoon,

A couple of things on the agenda today before we get into our main headlines.

First News - the award-winning national newspaper for children - in conjunction with JPIMedia is launching a Climate Challenge survey which we hope as many children as possible take part in.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is keen to hear from young people before meeting with other world leaders at the COP26 and our quick Young UK Climate Challenge survey enables children to answer a series of questions on the environment as well as leave their comments and opinions.

The Young UK Climate Challenge survey runs until Tuesday, October 26.

Also, in case you missed it, we've launched our new and improved app for the Lancashire Post.

Our new interface, improved navigation and dedicated PNE newsfeed in addition to your ability to read the paper front to back means our app offering is now stronger than ever.

To support the relaunch we want to offer you the chance to subscribe to our Digital+ package, which includes the app, with a discount of 35% off. Checkout using promo code NWAPP35 HERE
