! ! ! D E T N A Plans to champion Sheffield’s heritage W SOFAS & SUIT The Region’s Number One Entertainment & Classifieds Newspaper ISSUE 1559 // 21st feb - 27th feb
A plan to drive forward the Heritage Strategy for Sheffield is to be considered. In 2021, the Joined Up Sheffield Heritage Strategy was launched by grass roots heritage organisations across the city, supported by the University of Sheffield. It set out its vision for the future, and for Sheffield to celebrate its heritage, champion its diversity, and exploit the economic potential and educational value of heritage, over the next ten years. In a Strategy and Resources Committee meeting on Wednesday 21 February 2024, councillors will be asked to formally adopt the strategy and recognise the importance of heritage in making Sheffield a flourishing city. They will also be asked
and setting out a clear plan for the Council to help carry it out, we will not only champion Sheffield’s heritage, but show our commitment to protecting it too.” Working with the Heritage Partnership Board, the Council has developed the Heritage Strategy Action Plan, which sets out priority areas for the Council. As well as finding ways to safeguard Sheffield’s heritage, key themes in the plan also include realising the economic potential heritage has on the city. The heritage sector currently supports over 500,000 jobs nationally and contributes £36bn to the UK economy. Plans aim to maximise this potential and use heritage to grow Sheffield’s visitor economy, create jobs and
attract investment. This will be done by developing the city’s profile with national heritage and funding bodies, as well as by improving engagement with local businesses and ramping up educational efforts around the subject. Councillor Janet Ridler, Heritage Champion for Sheffield City Council, said: “We recognise that the importance of heritage for our city is in its social, environmental, educational and well-being benefits and its economic potential. “The aim of the Heritage Strategy is to preserve and protect our city’s heritage, placing heritage at the heart of council decision making, and also to look forward, invigorating interest and development for the people of Sheffield today.”

to agree on an action plan, which outlines how Sheffield City Council will contribute to the city-wide strategy. Councillor Tom Hunt, Leader of Sheffield City Council, said: “Heritage is everything that we inherit from our past that we want to protect and celebrate today so that it can be passed on to future generations. Our heritage is diverse and inclusive and it tells the story of who we are. “Sheffield’s heritage is our music, the 107 languages spoken in our city, our proud record of standing up for our rights and as a City of Sanctuary. It is also our rivers, our industrial heritage, our traditions of walking and climbing and so much more. “By adopting this strategy

If adopted, the new action plan will set out a way forward for Sheffield City Council to fulfil its role and allow the people of Sheffield to further benefit from the opportunities which heritage offers. This work also supports the ambitions of the Sheffield City Goals, which proposes a city ‘Where all our voices are heard equally, and we feel the respect and celebration of each other’s histories, heritage and cultures across our city’. By understanding the city’s vast heritage, communities will also be able to celebrate our diverse city and make different cultures more visible, which has been set out as a recommendation by the Race Equality Commission.

Family-friendly Budget moves one step closer Baby Packs The Council is poised to invest £360,000 through the provision of Baby Packs that will be universally available for all families with a new baby who live in Rotherham. At a meeting on Monday 12 February, the Council’s 2024/25 Budget moved a step closer after it was approved by Cabinet. The Council has put family-friendly measures at the heart of this year’s Budget proposals, including Baby Packs. On average, there are 2,740 babies born each year in Rotherham who will benefit from this investment proposal, ensuring that every new child’s family has access to essential items right from the beginning of the child’s life. Registering for the packs will also help parents to access a range of support and advice services provided by the Council’s Early Help service. High quality items will be included in the Baby Packs, promoting positive parent and child interaction and safety, helping to improve outcomes for the child and family. The final makeup of the packs will be determined during the procurement process, but it is thought that these will include items such as: muslin cloths, baby grows, and a travel changing mat, teething rings, sensory toys, and child thermometers. Information will be included in the Baby Packs to help give Rotherham children the best start in life, such as oral health, safe sleeping, infant feeding, accident prevention, parenting and perinatal support. Councillor Victoria Cusworth, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: “Providing all
children with the best start in life means starting from the beginning, and sadly too many children in Rotherham are going without some of the basics. That’s why I’m so pleased that we are going to be able to support new parents with these products, as well as ensuring that they get timely help and support from our local services. By making parenting a little easier and giving families the extra little bit of help, we can help to set all our children up for the best start in life.” Cabinet agreed to invest across a range of other areas including more funding for youth work, Children’s Centres and upgrades to playgrounds. An additional £370,000 is set to be invested to enhance Youth Work and Early Help services. This includes employing additional staff, so that hundreds more sessions can be provided for families. More than £900,000 has been allocated to upgrade eight children’s play areas, including those
at Thrybergh and Rother Valley Country Parks. In addition to this, the Water Splash at Clifton Park will benefit from investment to the tune of £900,000, so that works can be carried out to revamp the site. Cabinet agreed to a number of investments to respond to the needs of our local communities. This includes funding for road and pavement improvements, upgrades to streetlighting, local road safety schemes, as well as additional funding to deliver flood defences. For the fifth successive year, Cabinet agreed to a Council Tax increase below the Government’s referendum cap threshold. The proposed increase of 1.5% on basic Council Tax, plus a further 2% on the government’s Adult Social Care Levy is expected to be the lowest overall percentage increase of any Council with social care responsibilities in the Yorkshire region. For the majority of Rotherham households, the increase amounts to an extra 79p per week.

Join the Night Owls Sleep Over and Support Roundabout Charity Even the greatest Sheffield Wednesday fan might never have thought about sleeping in their beloved Hillsborough Stadium. But on March 22 there will be a chance to make that sporting dream come true as the Sheffield Wednesday Community programme joins up with South Yorkshire youth homelessness charity Roundabout for the Night Owls Sleep Over. The event will provide a thrilling experience for both families and Sheffield Wednesday fans. Starting at 8pm on the Friday and going on all the way through to 7am the following morning, there will be a host of fun activities as well as exclusive access to the celebrated football stadium, with an immersive tour of the grounds and a unique chance to explore the historic nooks and crannies that make Hillsborough Stadium legendary. More importantly, participants will be supporting Roundabout and all the money they raise through sponsorship will help vulnerable young people who are at risk of becoming homeless. “The annual Roundabout Sleep Out has always been one of our most popular annual events and we have been asked so many times if there was a version the
whole family could support,” said Roundabout Fundraising Manager Emily Bush. “Now, thanks to the support of the team at Sheffield Wednesday we can introduce the Night Owls Sleep Over, an event we believe will prove very popular with families who support Roundabout and also with football fans looking for a new way to enjoy their favourite sporting venue. “In a totally safe and family friendly atmosphere, we will be asking our supporters to brave what could still be a cold night, swapping beds for sleeping bags on the floor of the concourse in
the famous stadium. During the evening there will be plenty of activities to enjoy, making it the perfect event for Night Owls of all ages! “Of course, an event like this cannot truly replicate what it is like to be homeless, lonely and frightened - but it will offer a small insight into the realities that are faced and will help to make a real difference to the lives of young people.” To find out more about the Night Owls Sleep Over or to sign up visit www.roundabouthomeless. org

SHEFFIELD AND DONCASTER HEROES HEADLINE ARENA SHOW Matchroom return to the Utilita Arena Sheffield for a huge night of boxing on Saturday March 23. The Steel City’s fastrising Super-Lightweight contender Dalton Smith (15-0, 11 KOs) steps up against the USA’s three-time World Title challenger Jose Zepeda ( 37-4, 28 KOs) and Derby’s WBO Welterweight World Champion Sandy Ryan (6-1-1, 2 KOs) puts her gold on the line against Denaby Main’s two-
division World Champion Terri Harper(14-1-2, 6 KOs) in a huge domestic clash. ‘Thunder’ reinforced his credentials as a future World Champion last time out by sensationally wiping out Liverpool’s Sam Maxwell with a vicious one-punch knockout in the seventh round of their meeting in Sheffield to add the Commonwealth SuperLightweight Title to his British Title that he has now won outright. California’s Zepeda has
twice challenged for world honours at SuperLightweight – falling short on points against Jose Carlos Ramirez for the WBC crown in 2019 before suffering an eleventh-round stoppage against Regis Prograis for the same title in November 2022. In his only previous visit to the UK Zepeda suffered a dislocated left shoulder during his challenge for the vacant WBO Lightweight World Title against Manchester’s Terry Flanagan.
WBO 147lbs ruler Ryan will be looking to bounce back from a controversial split decision draw against WBC and WBA World Champion Jessica McCaskill in Orlando last September. Ryan was left bitterly disappointed following her World Title unification clash having felt she did enough to earn a career-best win. Harper was also left frustrated after her draw with Cecilia Braekhus last October but the 27-year-old now has the opportunity to claim
a World Title in a third weight division following her success at SuperFeatherweight and SuperWelterweight. Also on the card, Hyde’s Campbell Hatton (14-0, 5 KOs) goes for his first title when he
meets Doncaster’s James Flint (13-1-2, 3 KOs) for the Central Area SuperLightweight Title.

diabetes study goes live bump, birth and beyond are you a lottery winner? Graves Health and Sports Centre will be taking part in a groundbreaking new Diabetes and Peripheral Neuropathy study by Sheffield Teaching Hospital, Community Wellness Services and the NHS Foundation Trust set to enhance diabetes care within Sheffield. There are over 37,500 people living with diabetes in Sheffield alone, which is a condition that can lead to serious complications if not managed well, such as sight loss, amputation, kidney failure and stroke. At Graves Health and Sports Centre community healthcare sits alongside community leisure and sport. The £16M centre is home to onsite clinical facilities and health professionals, including Community Wellness Services and the NCSEM (National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine) who will also be supporting the programme. Over 150 classes will be delivered over the course of the year at Graves Health and Sports Centre and Thorncliffe Leisure Centre, with around 80 participants taking part to combat the condition and improve their cardiovascular health by ‘moving more’. David Birds, Managing Director at Community Wellness Services Group explains more, “As part of the specialist programme participants will receive bespoke one to one personal training from a Level 4 endocrine professional against agreed measures by the Department of Health, who set recommendations of what people with the condition should be achieving to improve mood and reduce blood pressure and glucose
levels. We know that people with diabetes are more at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. It’s therefore extremely important to maintain a healthy heart to improve circulation and reduce associated complications, so we are excited to be delivering this Study within these accessible and nonclinical venues.” Michael Dulku, Contract Manager for Places Leisure adds, ““This is the first trial of the specialist intervention and the first of its kind within a leisure centre environment so we are delighted to be partnering together to offer this programme to our community in Sheffield. With success we hope to support the roll out of it further with our partners so that more people in Sheffield and nationally can benefit from it and we can a real positive difference to the health of our communities; working hand in hand with Sheffield City Council and our health partners in a way in which has never been seen before in the UK.” Councillor Richard Williams, Chair of the Communities, Parks and Leisure Committee at Sheffield City Council said, “At Graves Health and Sports Centre, health interventions go hand in hand with mainstream sport and physical activity, giving us a unique opportunity to explore with our expert partners the real impact that can be achieved through small adjustments and a more active lifestyle. We are delighted to be able to support this fantastic research which we hope will benefit many within our community who are living with diabetes.”

A new service to provide family support in pregnancy and early years is being piloted in key communities across South Yorkshire. The Bump, Birth and Beyond service will be run by children’s charity Barnardo’s, in partnership with the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB), family hubs and local community organisations, with a focus on a whole family approach around bump and baby. Specialist practitioners from the charity will provide support on a wide range of issues, including preparation for birth, support around sleep, feeding and weaning, emotional wellbeing for mums and parents, as well as parenting courses and health awareness. The team will also work with families around issues they may be facing such as housing and debt management, supporting them to receive help from other specialist services in these areas. Working closely with local midwives and health visiting teams, the service launches on Monday 19 February 2024 and will be piloted over a two-year period in four key areas: • Worsborough, Barnsley • Mexborough, Doncaster • Eastwood and East Deane, Rotherham • Firth Park and Fir Vale, Sheffield. ‘Bump, Birth and Beyond’ aims to provide focused support and interventions, as well as improved access to existing services and groups for families, following a low uptake of early years services in these areas. Referrals can be made directly into the service by individuals and families themselves, or through professionals. Nadine Good, Director for Barnardo’s North Region said: “The first months and years of a baby’s life have a huge impact on a child’s development, and that’s why we are delighted
to be able to offer this important service in partnership with the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, to give babies and their families the best start in life. At Barnardo’s we believe in a holistic approach that looks at a wide range of factors that may impact each family and their baby. Our specialist practitioners will ensure that pregnant women, parents and families are listened to, with offers tailored to meet their specific needs, whether that be help with weaning, or more involved support around parenting programmes or financial struggles.” Dr David Crichton, Chief Medical Officer at NHS South Yorkshire said: “We want children in South Yorkshire to have the best possible start in life. Much of that starts with keeping families well even before conception, followed by receiving good maternity care through to those early years support and beyond. Bump, Birth and Beyond marks a shift in South Yorkshire towards prevention and early help during those critical first 1,001 days of a child’s life to access support and groups when they need them most. Barnardo’s specialist practitioners aim to be culturally aware and trauma-informed in their approach, to ensure they can best support the needs of people across our diverse communities in South Yorkshire.” Last year Barnardo’s provided essential support to 373,200 children, young people, parents and carers through more than 800 services and partnerships across the UK. They provide vital support to the children and families who need them most, to help with a range of issues including mental health, child sexual abuse and children in care.

friendship with the oddfellows
Being among people who share similar goals can make a significant difference to achieving a New Year’s resolution or not, says South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire Oddfellows. The local friendly society is inviting anyone who has recently set themselves the challenge of taking up a new group activity or socialising more to give one of their meet-ups a try. South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire Oddfellows, made up of around 700 members, mostly older and retired members, puts on a widerange of activities and regular social events in the South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire area that bring like-minded people together for friendship and support. Branch Secretary, Lesley Walton, said: “Many of us try to make changes to our lives at the beginning of the year, but when those first bumps in the road appear it’s much easier to stay on track when you’ve got people alongside you acting as cheerleaders, or giving you a reason
not to quit. Having the support of friends can be the difference between achieving and failing the goals we set ourselves. Here at South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire Oddfellows, we have a ready-made group of wonderful and inspiring people who can offer that support. So if you want to get out and about more, meet new and interesting people, try your hand at something new, or volunteer your time to help others, come and give us a try.” The Society also runs around 50 free online events every month, which are open to all. South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire Oddfellows is part of one of the oldest and largest friendly societies in the UK. Oddfellows members can also access a range of benefits, including care and welfare support and a travel club. To request a free events diary, contact Lesley on 01709 838673 or Lesley.Walton@oddfellows. co.uk You can also see a list of local events at www. oddfellows.co.uk/events.

TRADE BODIES back Euros licensing extension Trade association UK Hospitality is supporting a proposed blanket relaxation of licensing hours for the semifinal and final of the Euros will benefit football fans and businesses alike. The Home Office is proposing a blanket relaxation of licensing hours if any of the qualifying home nations reach the semifinal or final of the men’s 2024 European Championships. Licensing hours for these games are proposed to be extended to 1am in England and Wales, which will be particularly important for any games on a Sunday, including the final. On Sundays, many venues are only
licensed until 10.30pm. Kate Nicholls, Chief Executive of UKHospitality, said: “Big sporting events, like the Euros, bring huge crowds into pubs and bars to cheer on the home nations and deliver a significant sales boost to venues. “An approved blanket extension of licensing hours until 1am for these key matches will remove unnecessary hoops for pubs to jump through at the last minute and that is why we wholeheartedly support this relaxation. “We’re also supportive of the private members’ bill currently in Parliament, to make this process even easier in the future.
“The relaxation will allow hospitality to be at the heart of events and, hopefully, celebrate the great progress the home nations will make in the Euros this summer.” CAMRA also made a statement fully supporting the proposal, with Pub and Club Campaigns Director Gary Timmins stating: “Cheering on your team, in the atmosphere of the pub, surrounded by friends and local community is an experience that cannot be had anywhere else. “CAMRA believes that your local pub, social club or taproom is the best place to drink real ale, cider and perry, not simply for the social experience but also due to

the staff and licensees who run these venues.” Currently, proposals like this can take up to six months to be passed, which is why this consultation is being proposed now. Alongside this proposal, there is the Licensing Hours Extension Bill in motion, sponsored by MP Emma Lewell-Buck, which aims to make this process simpler. Expected to be passed later this year, a new law would help the speed in which decisions like these are made. CAMRA, again, fully backs this bill, with Timmins adding: “Creating a more responsive mechanism for licensing hours alterations would boost local economies with additional sales and help create a sense of community as pub-goers are able to celebrate the full range and diversity of British sporting achievement.”

BLADES SEE RED IN HEAVY DEFEAT Clinical in both boxes An early red card for Mason Holgate put United up against it in Sunday’s home loss to Brighton & Hove Albion at Bramall Lane, with the visitors producing a clinical display to take full advantage. United made two changes for the clash against the Seagulls, with Larouci and Osula replacing injured duo Norrington-Davies and Archer. Foderingham kept his place between the sticks, with youngster Blacker making the matchday squad for the first time. The Blades started positively with Bogle drawing a save from
Verbruggen with an angled drive inside 75 seconds, at the other end, Foderingham was alert to the danger after Ahmedhodžić had diverted Adingra’s low ball towards his own goal. But on 13 minutes, the afternoon took a turn for the worse, as Holgate saw a yellow card upgraded to a red following a brief VAR check for a committed challenge on Mitoma. And on 20 minutes, the visitors made their numerical advantage count, although the goal again had a hint of controversy to it, with BUONANOTTE credited with the final touch
THE TEAM PERFORMANCE DESERVED MORE Rotherham United boss Leam Richardson admitted he was as ‘disappointed as anyone’ inside AESSEAL New York Stadium as his side swallowed a bitter pill in the 1-0 home defeat to Watford. The Millers emerged as the superior side in all-butthe-scoreline when it came to the match stats, with one moment of magic from Yaser Asprilla deciding the outcome of a tight game in South Yorkshire. “Of course it’s frustrating at the minute with the results. “I think the effort levels and the performance deserved more. “We need to keep improving and I don’t think there’s
Top 10 for Palmer Liam Palmer reached another milestone in his Owls career following our 2-0 victory over Millwall on Saturday. The defender’s starting place at The Den marked his 424th appearance for Wednesday, a tally that sees

after Dunk and Webster had kept a corner alive, although there was more than a look of a foul on Foderingham. Hamer looked for an instant response and was denied by Verbruggen having got the better of Dunk and Lamptey. But in the 24th minute, WELBECK fired home on the rebound after Foderingham had initially denied Mitoma at the back post from a Groß cross. Understandably, the visitors were dominating the ball, but before the break United had the ball in the net only for VAR to rule out the goal for offside with Ahmedhodžić and
Osborn involved in forcing the ball into the net. United fought gamely after the break and looked to be limiting the damage until the final 15 minutes of the contest. ROBINSON was unfortunate to divert a Mitoma cross into his
any reason not to perform and come in to work and keep exercising really good habits until the end of the season. “In the first meeting that I had when I came in the building that we were obviously in a situation with many things - not just on the pitch - but around the football club that we need to be aware of, enhance and evolve and make sure we make a fist of it, otherwise what is the point. “The effort levels that I demand from the lads were there for all to see today. “We need that little bit of quality and that little bit of a cutting edge, but we’re very mindful of the division that we’re in playing against a good Watford side and we’ve come out on top on all things but the final score. “The Championship is full of quality of player, full of very well-coached and supported teams and we’re no different. I knew the challenge when I came into the building and the things we need to take forward if we want to sustain as a Championship football club and it’s not going to happen overnight. I’m as disappointed as anybody today with the result.” him climb into the club’s top 10 of all time. Palmer now sits joint ninth with Ernest Blenkinsop and Teddy Davison, just 10 appearances away from John Fantham. After our victory in London, Palmer said: “It’s a real honour and not something I take for granted, I’m thankful. “You don’t think about it too much, it’s always in the back of your mind. To get the 424th appearance and cap that with a good performance, and three points most importantly, it’s a nice feeling. To stay at this amazing club from being seven, having been through everything, you never really get the chance to look back on it and see how far you’ve come because there is always another game. “I can look at it now and be happy, but the three points were more important.”
own net, before the dangerous ADINGRA volley home at the near post from a Groß cross and the Ivory Coast star added a fifth with the aid of big deflection of Trusty after Ahmedhodžić had headed wide from Robinson’s cross at the other end.
Danny Röhl praised the Owls’ performance in both boxes after his side beat Millwall 2-0 at The Den. First half goals from Iké Ugbo and Anthony Musaba, combined with a strong defensive display, saw Wednesday leave the capital with three points and a clean sheet. Röhl said: “Today, we did what we had to do and this was important in the right moments, we were clinical in both boxes. “A clean sheet is important away from home and this was the basics to win this game. “My team did fantastic after four busy weeks, it’s not easy but we did well.
McCann targets more happy days out for dedicated supporters Grant McCann was delighted to send Rovers’ tremendous travelling support home happy - and wants plenty more of that before the end of the season. Rovers were backed by 1,158 fans at Grimsby Town and delivered a season’s best 5-1 triumph at Blundell Park for the third away win of the campaign. McCann acknowledged his side have not ensured enough happy away days for supporters this season, which is something he is keen to change in the final few months. “It’s been a good day for us and we’ve sent the fans home happy which is what we set out to do,” he said. “And we want to do it more often. “I touched on it during the week after the Salford game - we’ve got four of the next six away and if we can produce performances like that away from home, it’ll stand us in good stead for the rest of the season.” The result at Grimsby was a fourth game without defeat for Rovers and McCann believes his side are well placed to continue their climb up the Sky Bet League Two table. “We’ve got a long way to go,” he said. “We’ve still got
“Our massive supporters recognised what we did and in the second half it was not always nice football, but we did what we had to do. “We went 5-2-3, I wanted my number 10s to be in the pockets and this happened for both goals. “After the first goal I spoke to Musaba on the line and told him to be
clinical and use his speed. Then in the second half, it was about having a good defence. “We have two wins from three games and we need to take as many points as we can. “Today we can enjoy, then next week we will prepare the next games and we move forward.”
a quarter of so of the season to go. “We’ve got a chance to make up a lot of points. I touched on it a few weeks ago when we had 18 games left and we’ve started that run really well with two wins and two draws. We just want to try to keep building on that. “The season doesn’t finish tomorrow. We’ve got 14 games left and a really good chance to put a run together. It’s nice to have fit and available players back and the chance to make changes in a game. For example today both Matty Craig and Owen Bailey were on yellow cards and we had Tommy Rowe and George Broadbent on the bench so it would have been unwise not to use them. “I’m really pleased with the whole squad today and like I say after every game, it’s on to the next one.”
