A charity which searches for evidence of Sneyd Green Steve is to expand its services after receiving a £300,000 boost from tax payers.
The centre, which is about to celebrate its 35th birthday, caters for fans of the legendary swamp monster as well as offering support to some of the people most vulnerable to an attack by Steve.
The windfall will go towards expanding its services and will pay for two full-time explorers, two part-time hunters, administrative support and advertising.
"The money will allow us to do more work with victims of the monster," says centre manager Derek Farscape. "We will also train unemployed youngsters to be proficient with weapons with the aim that they may one day take down the beast, all with help from the government's New Deal scheme."
The charity beat other good causes to the money, including hospices and orphanages. They will now have to make redundancies and reduce services to make up up for their funding shortfall.
