🇺🇦❤️ Help Johnny take warmth, hope and Christmas joy to Ukraine! 🎄

Our wonderful colleague Johnny, from our Public Services Department at Barnsley College, is preparing for his fifth journey to Ukraine, travelling this Christmas to deliver vital humanitarian aid in partnership with Boxers Barbers 4 Ukraine.

He’ll be taking essential medical supplies, warm clothing, blankets and winter aid to vulnerable people facing the harsh realities of war, as well as toys and Christmas gifts to bring a little happiness to children who deserve a reason to smile.

Johnny is aiming to raise £1,200 to help fuel the van for this vital journey. Every donation, no matter how small, will help make a difference.

Please take a moment to visit his JustGiving page, read his story, donate if you can, and share to help spread the word. Every pound helps bring practical support, warmth and hope to those who need it most.

Let’s help Johnny fuel that van and make a real difference this Christmas! 🙏🇺🇦

Barnsley Civic Trust are proud to announce that a new blue plaque is being unveiled in honour of Sgt. David Taylor Horsfall

🕚This Saturday, 16 May at 11am
📍 Shaw Lane Sports Club

Horsfall was a flight engineer with the legendary 617 Squadron – the “Dambusters” and was among the 53 men who lost their lives during Operation Chastise on 16-17 May 1943

This event coincides with the 83rd anniversary of this most audacious of all bombing raids, codenamed Operation Chastise. We will be joined by Andrew Radforth, former Squadron Leader in the RAF and an official guide at the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln who has agreed to give a short presentation about 617 Squadron's famous bouncing-bomb raid - and David Horsfalls' role within it - and dispel some of the myths surrounding the mission.

Dan Jarvis, Barnsley North MP and Home Office Minister of State (security), will also speak about the importance of remembrance before the unveiling of the plaque by Barnsley's Mayor, David James Leech. The plaque will later be located at Sgt. Horsfall's former home - 24, Commercial Street, Barnsley.
