A SOUP table is providing a lifeline for the hungry and homeless sleeping on the streets of Barnsley town centre.
A team of kind-hearted volunteers pull together each week to cook up home-made food to feed the town’s homeless.
The brains behind the Tuesday night soup table, Kimberley Peake, says people may associate soup tables / kitchens with bigger cities but she told the Chronicle it is very much needed in this town.
Kimberley, who founded the Stamp Out Homelessness group, has been running the soup table from County Way car park near the Courthouse pub for about two months.
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."
