A NEW scheme to help tackle dementia-related fires in South Yorkshire has been launched.
The dementia fire and home safety project has been set up to promote fire safety to a range of organisations working with people living with dementia and their carers across the county.
It is being supported by £149,000 from South Yorkshire Fire Authority’s Stronger Safer Communities Reserve which was awarded to the South Yorkshire Dementia Action Alliances to support the project over two years.
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."
