BARNSLEY business Bartec Auto ID Limited has made a donation of £5,000 to the charity Local Mencap Barnsley.
A spokesman for the Redbrook Bsiness Park-based company said: “Bartec has a policy of supporting locally based charities, where they can be confident that every penny goes directly to the cause.
“Local Mencap Barnsley was chosen because one of our employees’ sons with learning difficulties had benefited hugely from the support and activities that Local Mencap Barnsley provides.”
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."
