WORKING mother-of-two Helen Wright brought scouting back to Goldthorpe after a 12 year absence.

Helen, 38, of Cherry Grove, Goldthorpe, is a scout leader for the cubs and not only had the idea, but ensured it happened.

She said: "Goldthorpe has had a lot of bad press recently and I wanted to do something to help turn things around and get the community back together and for the children to want to be in Goldthorpe."

Helen was nominated as a children's champion in the Proud of Barnsley awards by cub helper Stephanie Harris and Cheryl Lowe, the parent of a club.
