ANNE Pritchard is a local hero.

Anne, who prepares orders for home delivery by Sainsbury's internet shopping service also sings with Huddersfield Methodist Choir.

She received a cheque for £200 from Jo Coldwell, Sainsbury's personnel officer at a ceremony watched by choir conductor Alan Brierley. The donation was from Sainsbury's Local Heroes scheme which recognises charity work by employees.

Mrs Pritchard, of Scapegoat Hill, has been a member and fundraiser for the choir for many years.

Its chosen charity this year is the Forget-Me-Not Trust appeal for a West Yorkshire children's hospice.
