South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard has launched a new music hub to give more children the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and develop a love of music.
South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) and the four local Music Hubs across the region are to form a new South Yorkshire Music Hub, led by SYMCA and funded by the Arts Council England (ACE). It’s part of an ambitious national programme to provide high-quality music education for all children and young people.
South Yorkshire Music Hub (SYMH), which was launched last week at the annual conference of music hubs in South
Yorkshire at Barnsley’s Civic Centre, formalises the partnership between the four existing Music Hubs in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield. SYMCA joins this partnership to lead a South Yorkshire approach to developing music education. As part of the agreement, SYMCA will receive an additional £600,000 capital grant from the Department of Education to invest in new musical instruments, equipment and technology tailored to the needs of children and young people in South Yorkshire, including those with special educational needs and disabilities. It will also coordinate the existing revenue funding currently received by the other
partner organisations.
The new SYMH will continue the excellent work of South Yorkshire’s four local Music Hubs which have supported thousands of young people’s music education. Those organisations will continue to deliver music education across South Yorkshire. The new partnership will add to this by strengthening relationships across South Yorkshire, bringing people together and linking to other exciting opportunities.
Oliver Coppard, Mayor of South Yorkshire said:
“From the Arctic Monkeys to Pulp, Yungblud to Kate Rusby, South Yorkshire has given music to the world for years.
“I couldn’t be more proud of our history of giving
music to the world, or more excited about the potential of our new Music Hub to keep on helping young people across South Yorkshire develop their talent and their excitement for music. Singing, learning to read music and playing an instrument are all skills that help make people’s lives richer; both for those who learn and those who listen. Culture is how we tell each other stories, how we show emotion and how we connect with each. The new Music Hub will do all that and more, bringing together music education and talent from across South Yorkshire.”
The creation of the South Yorkshire Music Hub is part of a major investment in a new generation of the
nationwide network of Music Hubs. This investment will help to deliver the Government’s National Plan for Music Education, and give all children and young people the opportunity to develop their musical interests as far as they wish, including helping them to begin careers in the music industry. SYMCA and its partners are developing a local plan for music education in South Yorkshire. The new partnership will focus on delivering accessible to all children and young people in South Yorkshire through diverse partnerships between educational, creative and community organisations, in their local communities and throughout the country.

ST LUkE’S FESTIvAL OF LIghT BRINgS SPARkLE TO ThE FESTIvE SEASON
One of Sheffield’s best loved Festive traditions will be shining brightly again this December as the St Luke’s Hospice Festival of Light returns for 2024. The Festival of Light is the annual celebration that sees thousands of lights brighten the charity’s Little Common Lane garden, all dedicated in memory of loved ones. This year’s event will be held on Sunday, December 1, and will be hosted by BBC Look North presenter and keen St Luke’s supporter Tom Ingall. Among the many people
supporting the evening is Sophie Middleton, whose dad John was a St Luke’s patient.
“The most incredible thing about St Luke’s is that they can turn the worse experience of your life into something very special…and that’s exactly what they did for my dad John,” says Sophie, who lives with her family in Wisewood.
“I didn’t think I’d ever need St Luke’s - you never do - but now we’ve had their support and they have been there for us I want to give them everything I can.”
St Luke’s Head of
Fundraising Joasia Lesniak said: “Our Festival of Light has been one of our major annual fundraisers for more than a quarter of a century now and we aim to make this year’s celebration even more magical than ever before.
“It is always a very special time for St Luke’s friends and supporters to come together to remember and celebrate the lives of our loved ones in a very special way.
“For many of our supporters it really is the official start to the Christmas period and something that they look
forward to attending every year.”
As well as the official switch on, visitors can enjoy mulled wine and other seasonal drinks, along with food from a range of local street vendors. There will also be live music provided by some special guests throughout the event. First Bus will once again be providing a free Park and Ride service, with the first bus starting from the Abbeydale Road Tesco car park at approximately 3.45pm and the last bus leaving the hospice at 7.20pm.

MaYOR’s UpdaTE ON bUsEs & TRaMs
South Yorkshire’s Mayor Oliver Coppard has welcomed improvements to bus services which began this weekend, improving links to hospitals, education facilities and business hubs.
The service improvements, of which several are financially supported by South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA), mean passengers are now benefitting from new, extended and reintroduced bus services. These changes, introduced on Saturday 31 August, have been made following feedback from passengers, including at the public events held last year by Mayor Coppard across South Yorkshire.
The new service improvements include:
• Service 33 will run a new circular route with additional weekday journeys and a new Saturday daytime service, improving links to Barnsley Hospital; there will be Saturday journeys on service 26 between Penistone, Cubley and Stocksbridge; and additional evening trips on service 57a providing an hourly service between Sheffield, Oughtibridge and Stocksbridge when combined with service 57.
• There will also be more journey opportunities on services 70/71 to Sheffield Business Park, and the reintroduction of peak journeys on services 83/86 between Chapeltown and Sheffield.
• New service M35 will replace service 35a between Chapeltown and Warren, and extend to serve Smithy Wood Business Park, Ecclesfield and Parson Cross.
• Access to local education, healthcare and leisure facilities will also be improved around Birley and Crystal Peaks with the introduction of new services M44/M45, replacing services 8/8a. Oliver Coppard, said:
“I’ve been committed to radically improving our public transport network since day one; because ultimately, if we want people to stay near and go far in South Yorkshire, we need a better public transport system. And while these changes will not solve all the public transport challenges we face; they are a step towards us getting better buses and getting back the world class bus system we once had. I know firsthand how bus cuts can impact communities such as those in Broadway in Barnsley, so I’m delighted
we’ve been able to use the limited budgets we have to improve that particular service and others where communities have been let down in the past. But I want to go so much further. The process to reform our buses in South Yorkshire is progressing at pace and I have committed to taking a decision on bringing our buses back under public control by March 2025. I want us to have nothing less than a world class, fully integrated public transport system connecting up our buses, trams, trains and active travel routes and to put the public back into public transport.”
Other bus services in South Yorkshire changed from Saturday 31 August, and customers are advised to check online with Travel South Yorkshire at www. travelsouthyorkshire.com/ servicechanges.
And the Mayor also hailed the completion of summer tram improvement works that have been delivered on time and to budget.
Since Supertram was taken back under public control in March, after 27 years, the Mayor has overseen an ambitious improvement plan across the network, with £23m invested this financial year and a total of £33m currently earmarked. A key part of this investment to improve the network took place this summer, helping to future proof and extend the lifespan of our tram network. The works were essential to ensure trams could continue to run safely and critical to extend the lifespan of the Supertram network. The improvements mean a better travel experience for passengers with improved comfort, reduced noise and the risk of unplanned closures on the network reduced.
The work undertaken this summer included:
• 1km of embedded track replaced
• 461m of ballasted track replaced
• All scrap rail sent to a local scrap yard in Rotherham for processing before going to British Steel in Scunthorpe for recycling
• 24-hour working where possible to ensure the duration of closures for passengers was kept to a minimum
• Using British Steel for ballasted rail
• Completed on budget and on time by 1 September Oliver Coppard said: “After 27 years South Yorkshire’s Supertram came back under public control in March. Now, we are making huge strides in our
journey back to a public transport system that puts people first, connects our communities and helps us to build a bigger and better economy in South Yorkshire. The investments into Supertram we made over the summer are a huge part of that journey, helping us to create a safe, reliable network that people will be able to use and enjoy for generations to come. ”
The summer rail replacement works were undertaken by VolkerRail, a specialist railway infrastructure company based in Doncaster.
During the improvement works, South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) used local expertise wherever possible, which included working with other businesses in the region.
Sam Allen, General Manager for VolkerRail, said: “We want to thank the local community for their understanding and their support throughout the summer rail replacement works. Our team worked around the clock to bring disruption for passengers to a minimum, and worked hard to ensure the project was completed on time and to budget. We used local suppliers as much as possible, including British Steel Scunthorpe for new rail for all ballasted sites, and a local scrap yard in Rotherham for processing scrap rail before returning to British Steel.”
Melanie Corcoran, Executive Director of Public Transport at SYMCA, said: “The work this summer has been critical to extend the lifespan of one of the region’s best loved modes of transport. We have worked hard to make the most of the time the tramway has been closed to minimise any disruption and keep people moving.
CHOIR bENEfITs fROM CHaRITY
A youth choir charity in South Yorkshire has received a £1,000 funding boost as part of Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards to support its vital work.
Barnsley Youth Choir provides outstanding choral training to over 450 young people aged 4-24 years old. They seek to inspire and change lives through music and provide life changing opportunities for those involved. They work hard to ensure that their provision remains inclusive and accessible for all, and their satellite Children’s Choir network is designed to support engagement in areas that require significant travel times into the centre. The £1,000 donation made as part of the Movement for Good Awards will help provide financial support for costs associated with expanding their activities for children aged 7-12 years old into areas of high deprivation in the South of Barnsley. The new Children’s Choir South will provide worldclass opportunities for children in some of the most deprived areas in the borough. Mat Wright, MBE, Artistic Director of Barnsley Youth Choir has spoken out following the overwhelming support from the public, “We are thrilled to receive this funding which will support the development of our new Children’s Choir South - serving the communities in the South of Barnsley and ensuring all children have access to the very highest levels of vocal training, regardless of circumstances.”
Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards is giving away over £1million to charities
across the year and invites members of the public to nominate causes close to their hearts. 150 awards of £1,000 have been donated to charities across the UK and Ireland. Further winners will be revealed later in the year and South Yorkshire residents are encouraged to keep nominating by visiting https://movementforgood. com/. Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive at Benefact Group, said: “We would like to thank every single person who took the time to nominate a good cause as part of our Movement for Good Awards. Benefact Group is a family of award-winning specialist financial services companies and the third largest corporate donor to charity in the UK. Owned by a charity ourselves, charitable giving is at the heart of what we do. All of our available profits go to good causes and the more the Group grows, the more the Group can give. We are delighted to be able to donate over £1million to good causes each year through our Movement for Good Awards and are grateful to all our supporters, including the customers of the trusted insurer, Ecclesiastical, and the responsible and sustainable asset manager, EdenTree. We know that £1,000 can make a huge difference to the incredible work that charities do and we’re looking forward to seeing how this financial boost will change lives for the better.”

More people in Sheffield who need support are living independently and well at home because of work between health and care services to prevent readmission to hospital. Health and care services across the city are focussing on people who are leaving hospital to support them to return home, or their previous place of residence, wherever possible. Where necessary, they are supported to benefit from a period of rehabilitation, reablement and recovery before they have a longerterm assessment of their needs. The Sheffield system has a commitment to reduce both the number and the length of time that people remain in hospital when they no longer require acute care. The Council continues to work towards reducing the number of people who are still in hospital when they are medically fit to be at home to 13% by March 2025. In terms of the impact on people, this would mean 55 fewer people in hospital beds than there was at the end of February 2024. As a system, health and adult social care are working together to drive improvements, to ensure that timely discharge is the
focus in preparation for winter. This will see further development of home care provision, supporting more people to return home, and the development of the new discharge hub. This includes the introduction of joint roles which are providing support to lead and drive discharge across all areas of the system. This is all linked to the implementation of the hospital discharge and community support guidance and Sheffield’s hospital discharge plan to improve outcomes for local people. It’s acknowledged that goals will only be met by the health, housing and the voluntary sector continuing to work effectively together. The Council has established citywide partnership and governance arrangements in its Sheffield Discharge Model to work towards a position where people are discharged within 24 hours of being identified as medically fit to leave hospital. A System Discharge Lead is now working as a single coordinator working across the Council and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (STH) to provide strategic oversight and delivery of hospital discharge. Councillor Angela Argenzio of
Sheffield City Council, said: “It’s vital that we make discharge personal so that individuals and their families have good experiences during their stay in hospital and that they experience a positive, safe, and timely discharge where they are involved in the planning for them leaving hospital. We know this can be a very distressing time and how important it is to get this right between all the teams involved. We’re pleased that the System Discharge Lead is now in post and holding Council and hospital teams accountable to make sure that hospital discharge is taking place in the best way.”
In line with local ambitions towards ‘Making Discharge Personal’, Council teams are implementing recording systems to measure individual outcome. Moving towards this more personalised approach is putting the focus on demonstrating impact on individuals’ wellbeing outcomes and independence and using learning from individuals’ and family members experiences to continually improve the approach to prevention of admission and discharge from hospital.

PLANS SUBMITTED TO BRING CINEMA BACK TO CRYSTAL PEAKS AFTER TWO DECADES
Customers have reacted positively to news that a cinema could return to a shopping centre for the first time in 20 years.
An application to open a four-screen multiplex at Crystal Peaks has been submitted to Sheffield City Council.
A 10-screen UCI was open from 1988 until 2003 and once hosted the premiere of The Full Monty.
The new development would take over the former Clarks shoe shop and a cafe-bar unit and centre manager Lee Greenwood told the BBC: “The question we get from our regular market research with customers is; 'when are you going to bring back the cinema?'”
The applicant, Albany Courtyard Investments Ltd, said the two-storey cinema would have capacity for up to 71 people per screen and create 12 full-time jobs. Two of the screens would be on the ground floor with a further two on the upper level.
Mr Greenwood said the retail complex had been working with an unnamed cinema operator "for a
number of years" and was "very confident" that the application would be approved.
The old AMC and later UCI cinema, which was demolished in 2005, could hold 312 people in its two auditoriums.
Former TV and film reporter John Highfield, who attended the event, recalled: "The cinema was all spruced up and full of Yorkshire TV personalities. Claire King from Emmerdale was there and TV hostess Jenny Powell.
The film went down a storm."
Shoppers who spoke to the BBC said they were "delighted" that a cinema could return to the centre.
One woman, 63-year-old
Kath, said she normally had to go into the city centre to see a film.
Another, Jackie, said the new opening could bring “a load of revenue” to the area.
Mr Greenwood said he hoped a new cinema could also become a "community asset" with screens that could be hired for events and vintage film showings for elderly customers.
"We have a strong, loyal customer base here. Many have been shopping at Crystal Peaks for 30 years. We are their high street. They deserve a cinema."
If approved and an operator secured, the cinema would open in spring or early summer 2025.

Cat Rhone, Deputy CEO of Weston Park Cancer Charity, said: “We are honoured to hear that yet again the Croke family have chosen to host their own event to support our work here at the charity.

unable to continue our vital work for the one in two people affected by cancer across our region.

OWLS U21S ADD STRIKER TO THE RANKS
The Owls Under-21s have bolstered the ranks with the addition of striker George Brown.
The 18-year-old has enjoyed a successful trial spell with Andy Holdsworth’s squad and has signed his first professional contract at Hillsborough.
Brown has featured six times for Wednesday, including throughout preseason, and has scored twice, most recently in our 2-2 draw with Bournemouth last time out at Middlewood Road.
The striker is a product of the UFCA (Ultimate Football Coaching Academy) – a private academy based in Leeds and headed up by former player Isaiah Rankin.
Brown joined the UFCA as an Under-13 and has risen all the way through their ranks to gain this opportunity with the Owls.
On signing his
maiden contract, the youngster was joined at Hillsborough by his family, Rankin and UFCA assistant academy manager Coel Young.
Brown told swfc.co.uk:
“This is something every kid dreams of, I’ve joined a massive club, it’s a great achievement and I can’t wait to get started now.
“The intensity levels go up, the speed of play goes up but it’s important not to overthink things at times, you’ve just got to play your football and hopefully that is good enough to impress.
“I’ve really enjoyed my time at UFCA, they are a private academy and teach you how a pro team plays, their expectations, they help you develop and give you an opportunity and help get trials with pro clubs.
“It’s tough when you first come in but I’ve been in and around the lads and enjoyed playing with
them and hopefully I will get many more goals during the season.
“Andy is a top coach and makes sure you are pushing yourself every day.
“He sees the best in you, the talent you’ve got and makes sure you are constantly raising your standards and doing the right things in training.

MILLERS RETURN FROM CAPITAL WITH A POINT
Two second half wonder strikes ensured the spoils were shared, as Rotherham United earned their first away point of the season with a 1-1 draw against Charlton Athletic.
The Millers opened the scoring in some style when Liam Kelly opened his account for the club with an unstoppable effort from outside the box, which put Steve Evans’ men on course for their first away win of the season.
The first sight of goal fell the way of the home side with just three minutes on the clock when Ahadme met Small’s cross from the left flank with a glancing header, which was just wide.
Four minutes later and the hosts had an even better chance, which should have been converted by the forward.
Rotherham’s first opportunity came with 10 minutes on the clock.
Clarke-Harris rose above the crowd to meet a Rafferty cross, but he couldn’t get his effort on target.
Rotherham’s best chance of the half came on 22 minutes when Sam Nombe wriggled free of his marker before firing hard and low, forcing the ‘keeper into a smart stop.
Clarke-Harris looked to get on the end of the rebound, but couldn’t stretch far enough.
Two good opportunities fell the way of defender Cameron Humphreys in the opening five minutes of the half. The first saw the defender rise above a crowd of bodies to meet a Wilks cross, but he couldn’t get enough power in his effort to truly trouble Mannion. The second saw him
again get up well, but his effort from Rafferty’s centre was high and wide. It was going to take something special to unlock two stubborn defence and it came in the shape of Liam Kelly’s right foot. The midfielder picked up possession 25 yards from goal an unleashed an unstoppable strike from 25 yards to put Steve Evans’ side ahead with 58 minutes on the clock. With 20 minutes left, Kelly made a contribution which was just as important as his
goal. Substitute Tyrese Campbell found room inside the box and looked certain to score before a last-ditch intervention from the midfielder. It was his namesake Allan that played a big part in unlocking Rotherham’s rearguard two minutes later. He picked out Aneke, on the edge of the box, before the striker took a touch and wrapped an unstoppable effort into the top corner from 20 yards out.
SHARP ON TARGET AGAIN TO WIN ROVERS 3
POINTS
Billy Sharp’s first half strike set Rovers on their way to a battling victory over early Sky Bet League Two pacesetters Gillingham.
Sharp hooked home his fourth goal of the season on the half hour mark to help see off the Gills, who arrived at the Eco-Power Stadium unbeaten and sitting top of the table. And they stood up to
Blades fans are now able to pre-order the limited edition third shirt and third goalkeeper shirt.

The ivory cream coloured shirt dovetails with a sophisticated maroon trim on the knitted polo collar and sleeves, whilst the subtle pattern within the main body matches the outline of the Lantern Tower ceiling inside Sheffield Cathedral, where the third kit was officially launched. Meanwhile,
late pressure from the visitors superbly to continue the impressive start to the season and equal the club record for consecutive home league wins at 11.
Rovers emerged the stronger from a stodgy opening. Harry Clifton slid a pass through the middle to send Jordan Gibson racing away but keeper Glenn Morris just got to the ball first.
Gibson was a consistent threat for Rovers and pulled a shot narrowly wide from 20 yards from a corner routine. And it took a brave block from Jamie Sterry to stop a fierce strike from Jack Nolan from 15 yards.
the accompanying goalkeeper strip is all black with maroon trim.
There’s also a twist to our club crest, with a similar version of the blades which adorned the version of our historical badge during the early ‘80s, represented on their own opposite the Erreà Sport logo. Within the inside of the collar, the Latin
inscription of ‘Deo Adjuvante Labor Proficit’ features, with the words taken from the Sheffield Coat of Arms, roughly translated as ‘With God’s help our labour is successful’.
Following the home and away designs, the club’s foundation year - 1889 - features on the back of the neck.
Rovers surged again. Gibson received a pass into the box from Brandon Fleming, controlled on the turn and poked a shot on goal which Morris batted away. Sterry saw his two attempts on the followup blocked.
The deadlock was broken on the half hour. Gibson nodded down a deep cross and Sharp hooked home on the turn from close range. Rovers started the second half strongly.
Molyneux saw a shot deflected onto the roof of the net before striking the bar with a searching cross from the byline. Bailey was denied from
close range by Morris after some excellent build-up play from Rovers while Harry Clifton was millimetres away from connecting with a ball flashed across the near post.
Gillingham rallied and enjoyed a period of pressure as they showed a greater degree of physicality. Ted SharmanLowe was called upon to punch away a dangerous corner under his crossbar with Molyneux on hand to block the follow-up strike from Ollie Hawkins. Jay McGrath headed over the bar from a Zain Westbrooke free kick as Rovers maintained a grip in the game.
