Youngsters are counting their pennies as part of a new scheme to help them save money.

Penny pinching - Liz Kearley, of Essex Savers Net Credit Union, with eager Frobisher Primary and Nursery School savers. (40028-1)

Frobisher Primary and Nursery School, Jaywick, has become the first school in Tendring to start a children's savings club.

The initiative has been set up with Essex Savers Net Credit Union with the aid of a grant from the local network fund.

The children can deposit their money on a weekly basis at a collection point in school and can put in as much or as little as they wish.
