MORE than 600 pupils from schools in Barnsley have taken part in a campaign that highlights the dangers of water during the summer holidays.
Some 34 schools in and around Barnsley embarked on a design competition, organised by leisure operators BPL, where young people from years one, two and three were tasked with designing a poster that depicts swim safety - featuring the BPL mascot Derek the Dolphin.
After the designs were completed BPL narrowed them down to one finalist from each school and the final winner was decided upon by the editorial team from the Barnsley Chronicle.
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."
