A BARNSLEY woman is encouraging locals to take up ice skating as a way to keep fit.
Helen Wilson, 51, who got her skates on to keep physically active and believes it's also a great way to keep mentally fit.
"I would definitely recommend ice skating. If you are willing to try something new and put your trust in the great coaches, it's a fantastic sport. Of all the activities I do in my spare time, ice-skating is one I'd never give up."
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."
