BARNSLEY Hospital Charity's Tiny Hearts Appeal will be given a boost by an event organised by a group of local mums.

Kiddie Kaboodle will be holding its first children and baby event at the Civic Barnsley on January 31 to raise money for the appeal.

Visitors are invited along to buy or sell good quality baby and children's items, find out about local children's events and services, buy from local businesses specialising in children's products and enter a raffle to win donated toys and items.

The Tiny Hearts Appeal aims to raise £1 million to support the development of a brand new Special Care Baby Unit at Barnsley Hospital.
