AN EXERCISE group for people who have health problems has been awarded £10,000 to buy new gym equipment.
The Barnsley Long Term Exercise Heart Support Group, based at Carlton Pavilion, received the money from the Big Lottery and has bought exercise bikes, a cross trainer and two recumbent bikes.
Secretary Terry Murten said the group had been raising money and the new equipment was proving very popular.
The group has been running for about three years and members are able to exercise to help rehabilitation from injury, surgery or illness, and socialise at the same time.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
