A NEW group is being set up in Hoyland to tackle social isolation among older people.
Work is still going on to establish the group and full details of how it will function have yet to be released, but it is being organised by council staff on the South Area Team, who work specifically in that area of town.
It will be based around a ‘cook and eat’ programme, which will be designed to encourage those taking part to eat more healthily and that is also seen as an opportunity to allow greater levels of social interaction.
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."
