HIGHER Folds has copped a £100 gift from the police.

PC John Burns, the estate's community bobby recently presented a cheque to Lorraine Hutchings, co-ordinator of the Heart of the Community Shop at The Centre.

The shop acts as a community focus and promotes a drop-in guidance stop for welfare rights and the benefits agency. It also organises youth nights on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for an Internet club, table games and drawing as well as preparing projects for the estate.

Lorraine is helped in the running of the shop by Martin Ward, deputy leader, Mourn Prescott, treasurer, and J Ward, secretary.
