AN ORGANISATION which helps young survivors of sexual violence has been awarded £117,000 from Children In Need.
Barnsley Sexual Abuse and Rape Crisis Helpline has been awarded the money to help cover the salaries of two ‘children’s sexual violence advocates’ to work with children and young people.
They will work with the young people to provide tailor-made action support plans to help the victims to understand their choices in legal procedures, ensure that their voice is heard, and develop a greater resilience and more positive future.
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."
