BARNSLEY will benefit from more than £180,000 funding to support the armed forces community in South Yorkshire.
A grant of £180,695 has been awarded from the Ministry of Defence’s Covenant Fund to help the region ‘gain a better understanding’ of the local armed forces community.
The announcement comes after Sheffield City Council successfully led a bid in partnership with Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham councils and two universities, Sheffield Hallam and York St John.
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."
