YOUNG patients at Barnsley Hospital received gifts including televisions, a PlayStation 3 games console and games after staff from glassworks Ardagh took on a charity bike ride.
It was organised after one of their colleague’s daughters, Mollie Annetts, was taken ill and spent Christmas in Barnsley Hospital.
The team cycled 56 miles from Ardagh at Monk Bretton to the Doncaster branch, past the Knottingley branch and back to Barnsley and raised £1,032.
They decided to spend the money on gifts for the children’s ward.
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."
