A CHARITY supporting a rural primary school has received £400 from the Kent Police Property Fund.

The Friends of Selsted School, (FOSS), which is located between Hawkinge and Canterbury, will use the money to pay for some chairs at a new community hall.

Local Police Community Support Officer Sarah Wallis presented the cheque during school assembly yesterday. She said: "It is a pleasure to be able to present the Friends of Selsted School with a cheque from the Kent Police Property Fund.

"FOSS provide important support to the school and its pupils and I know the donation will make a big difference."

FOSS has been fundraising for Selsted School to enhance pupils' experience.

The Kent Police Property fund is made up of the proceeds from the sale, at auction, of unclaimed lost property and items seized in police operations. The proceeds raised at the auction are presented to charitable groups that work for the good of the community, and around £7,000 is donated in south Kent each year.
