LOTTERY funding will pay for a new film about 'cyber bullying' to be made by Barnsley school pupils.
The Big Lottery Fund grant of £6,320 will be used by students from Horizon Community College to deliver workshops to students about the impacts of cyber bullying and to create a film about the issue which will be used as an educational resource.
This will educate youngsters about cyber bullying and social media, to encourage them to report any abuse and stay safe online.
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated July 17. **
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."
