MEMBERS of Barnsley Youth Choir are singing the praises of generous Barnsley folk who have raised £44,000 to help send them to Germany for the European Choir Games.
The choir of more than 250 members will now be able to send its 58 most accomplished singers to Magdeburg next month to sing in the competition with some of the best choirs in the world.
A black tie dinner and auction held at the Holiday Inn at Dodworth hosted by Dan Jarvis MP and radio presenter Stephanie Hirst raised more than £10,000 in pledges.
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."
