THE CHRONICLE is throwing its support behind an ambitious campaign to make the wishes of people living with dementia come true.
We are backing the ‘Wish List’ project to encourage those who are living with the debilitating condition, or their carers, to make a wish and try something they’ve always wanted to do.
Wish List is part of the Barnsley Dementia Support Service run by South Yorkshire Housing Association, which supports people, and their carers, who have dementia.
There are almost 2,000 elderly people in Barnsley living with dementia, according to the latest government research.
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."
