A MEMBER of a pub 'pudding club' is giving up beer for a month to help raise money to pay for a friend to buy a special wheelchair.
Shane Bristow - a member of the Sunday Pudding Club which meets at the Black Bull in Stairfoot - wants to help raise £15,000 for a special electric chair for friend Paul Jennings - known as Jed.
Father-of-one Paul was left paralysed from the neck down in August 2009 when landed badly on his son's trampoline in the back garden.
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."
