A CHAMPION community support officer has given his winnings to the residents of the estate he patrols.

Generous Dave Brownlee won £250 last year as he was named Liverpool Housing Trust's 'neighbourhood champion'.

But last week he put it all towards the Castlefields community festival day - leaving residents like little Taylor Jade Goodall feeling buoyant.

The seven-year-old Park School pupil won a competition to design a logo, for future community events, which summed up what Castlefields meant to her.

CSO Brownlee presented Taylor with her award and helped her show off her imaginative design on balloons at Castlefields community centre last week.
