A LOCAL charity that supports people with Alzheimer’s and dementia has been handed a donation from a leading housebuilder.
Persimmon Homes West Yorkshire has awarded Barnsley Independent Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support (BIADS) £1,000 to support work on a multi-sensory room.
The charity, which was founded in 2010, provides emotional support and social activities for those in the Barnsley area.
Pam Evans, management support assistant at BIADS, said: “We are delighted to have received this donation from the Persimmon Homes community champions scheme.”
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."
